Jade - Steel

An elegant and understated pendant featuring a hand-carved jadeite in a soft, luminous light green, certified by NGTC as natural Type A jadeite (Feicui). The jadeite has been carved into an elongated, gently tapering form with smooth, rounded contours and a small curled stem detail at the top. It has a calm, organic look, as if shaped by nature. The stone is softly translucent and glows when light passes through it, with delicate patches of deeper green drifting through a pale, misty body. The surface has a fine polish that feels silky to the touch, and the fibrous interwoven structure noted on the certificate is characteristic of genuine jadeite. The carving hangs from a three-lobed, cloud-inspired bail in gold-tone stainless steel, whose warm brushed finish contrasts beautifully with the cool green of the jade. Long and slender, the pendant falls gracefully and lengthens the neckline, so it suits both everyday wear and more refined occasions. Jadeite has been treasured in Chinese culture for centuries as a stone of protection, harmony and good fortune, and it is traditionally worn close to the body as a lifelong companion. Type A jadeite is natural and has not been bleached, polymer-impregnated or dyed, so its colour and texture are entirely its own. A colour-matching stainless steel necklace is included as a gift, so the pendant is ready to wear straight away.
