This natural jade ring is crafted in an abstract shape of a butterfly. Making up the body of the butterfly is a jadeite carving of a pea pod, 四季豆, with a pure green hue. The bright green is vivid in saturation and glows mesmerisingly in daylight. This natural jadeite centrepiece is also highly translucent, beautifully showcasing its clarity and fine crystal aggregates.
The butterfly wings that frame the bright green jadeite have a web-like design. Polished lustrously, the 18K white gold wings reflect light easily, creating a glistening effect that complements the glowing green jadeite centrepiece.
Pea pod 四季豆 has a symbolic meaning, the 3 separate pods representing the achievement of 3 major goals in one's life. The auspicious meaning of pea pod jade carvings is also derived from the direct translation of pea pods in Chinese. The Chinese words sound similar to four seasons and in a way, pea pod carvings symbolise health and prosperity all year long, throughout the 4 seasons every year.
The jadeite carving is guaranteed Type A, without enhancements. The main photos are taken in natural lighting and there are 2 additional photos taken with indoor lighting.
