This icy jadeite pendant is carved in the classic shape of a "safety coin". The jadeite material used in this pendant has a refreshing hue which is almost colourless but for a light tint of green. The cool colour along with the jadeite's translucency has a frosty appearance, creating a refreshingly modern colour combination in this classic jadeite carving.
Safety coins or 平安扣 carvings are derived from Chinese traditions. These jade carvings are symbolically worn as protection against ill fortunes. Jadeite safety coins carved from fine jadeite material are also a symbol of wealth and nobility. Jadeite is an incredibly hardy material and a fine jadeite piece can be worn, kept and passed down families from generation to generation as family heirlooms.
This icy jadeite safety coin pendant is set with an elegant 18K white gold bail encrusted in natural diamonds. The diamonds lend a sparkly touch to the glowing lustre of the icy jadeite. Worn against skin, the high translucency of the jadeite material can be seen clearly. The translucency and fine crystal aggregates in the jadeite also create a faint shimmer that glows beautifully from within the jadeite.
The main photos are taken in natural lighting and there are 2 additional photos taken with indoor lighting to give an accurate representation of the colour of the jadeite.
