Crafted in 18K rose gold, this bracelet features 2 Type A jadeite carvings. One is a jadeite carving shaped like a doughnut with a hollow middle. The portion that was removed to create the jadeite doughnut was carefully carved and polished into a tiny jadeite cylinder that makes up the second jadeite carving, set on one end of this jadeite bracelet.
This jade carving design is referred to as a 母子扣. This term directly translates to "mother and child safety coin" because of how the smaller jadeite carving is derived directly from the larger jadeite doughnut.
This pair of jadeite carvings is expertly crafted from naturally translucent jadeite. Bright, vivid green covers a quarter of the "safety coin" carving and blends gradually to a spread of light green with an icy appearance. The blend of colours is clean without any visible impurities, emphasising the iciness of the jadeite carving.
The beautiful meaning of the 母子扣 makes this a perfect gift to a child. With an adjustable length, this can be worn on a child's ankle and increases in length can be made to accommodate a growing child's ankle size. Older children or adults can wear this as a bracelet. 3 tiny golden bells are added on the bracelet / anklet along with the Chinese term 喜樂. Xi Le (喜樂) translates to happiness. As a gift, this carries an auspicious meaning of wishing its wearer happiness and joy.
These jadeite carvings are natural Type A jadeite and the colour hue and lustre as seen in the photos are representative of the actual quality of the jadeite. The last 2 photos in the set are taken in indoor lighting.
