This is an orangy yellow jade pendant set with 18K white gold and natural diamonds. The orangy yellow hue is saturated and brightly coloured which is rare in natural jadeite. The bright yellow jade has also high translucency which makes the pendant even more intriguing. The high translucency and fine crystal aggregate structure of the jade material produces a soft glow in natural light which accentuates the yellow hue of the jadeite.
The jadeite carving is of a pea pod 四季豆. The 3 pods represent the achievement of 3 major goals in one's life. The auspicious meaning of pea pod jade carvings is also derived from the direct translation of pea pods in Chinese. The Chinese words sound similar to four seasons and in a way, pea pod carvings symbolise health and prosperity all year long, throughout the 4 seasons every year.
