This pair of jadeite earrings brings together a modern huggie design and classic jadeite safety coin carvings. The jadeite discs showcase a vivid green colour that graduates across the jadeite. The effect resembles pure green ink spreading out in water. This effect is pronounced given the high translucency of the jadeite.
The areas of the jadeite that are not green are completely translucent and colourless. These pockets of colourless jadeite contrast beautifully against the vivid green colours, emphasizing their colour against the clear, icy jadeite. Completely natural, the patterns of green are different on both carvings but exhibit a matching blend of vivid green hues.
Crafted in 18K white gold, each jadeite safety coin carving has a single diamond set in its middle. Also known as the 平安扣 in Chinese, this carving is typically worn as a protection against ill fortunes.
The jadeite 平安扣 are carved from natural Type A jade and the colour hue and translucency as seen in the photos are as representative as photos come. The last 2 photos in the set are taken in indoor lighting.
