This medium sized jadeite pendant is intricately carved in the depiction of the Buddhist deity Guan Yin. Guan Yin or 观音 is a symbol for compassion and carvings of Guan Yin are often worn as a talisman against fear, pain or sufferings.
Completely crafted by hand, this jadeite Guan Yin is carved from Type A jadeite that displays a beautiful gradient of colours. The icy white jadeite with an exquisitely fine texture graduates to a rich yellow hue that covers side of the jadeite carving. Being highly translucent, this rich yellow hue has an interesting touch of iciness to the colour, giving the jadeite carving an overall refreshing look and feel.
With jadeite carvings, intricacy is an incredibly important trait for our jadeite jewellery. This jadeite pendant showcases an incredible amount of expertise and this can be observed with the clarity in the carving; even the side profile of the deity is delicately detailed. Clarity of this jadeite pendant is also especially notable given the larger size of the jadeite carving.
This jadeite Guan Yin carving is elegantly set in 18K white gold with a pendant bail that is encrusted in natural diamonds.
