This is an icy jadeite pendant featuring a "safety coin" carving (平安扣). The natural jadeite has a combination of high translucency and fine crystal aggregates, creating a shimmery glow in the jadeite that emanates from within the jadeite. Carved as a "safety coin", the smooth dome shape accentuates this icy glow.
Soft, cotton-like flakes of white can be seen "floating" within the jadeite carving, having the effect of swirling snow, suspended in time and space. This natural "swirling snow" is only possible because of the high translucency and fine crystal aggregate structure of the jadeite carving.
The pendant is set in 18k white gold, with a pendant hook embellished with natural diamonds in different shapes. The channel of sparkly diamonds tapers in size elegantly from the top of the pendant hook to the center hole in the jadeite "safety coin" carving.
The jadeite pendant is Type A and is completely natural. The main photos are taken in natural lighting and there are 2 additional photos taken with indoor lighting for an accurate representation of the colour and quality of this carved jadeite pendant.
