飘花翡翠 Icy Green Jade Pendant Leaf 18k
Icy Green Jade Pendant Leaf
Fine jade leaf pendant set with icy green jadeite and accented with diamonds in 18k.
The jade is highly translucent, showing its ‘floating green’ (飘花翡翠) as an intense diffusion.
The jade is also glassy in some parts, imparting its transparency aside its floating green.
The interesting setting of the carving takes a page out of Nature’s book – the leaf is set asymmetrically, a little off centre – the jade is buoyant amidst mica-like diamond.
The pair of pink and blue sapphires knock off the white, it just works.
This is a new way of setting jade, no filigree, prong and bezel equally illusive and fading out from under the jade.
The pendant is constructed like a locket, its thick carving holstered in gold in a bevelled form most tactile to its back.
Jade of this transparency is consistently set this way, such is the know-how to its most striking end.
When the locket is opened, you see the quality of the jade intimately. The leaf and triangle (ring) are carved from the same jade rough.
The pendant measures 4cm by 2cm.
