Fine Highly Translucent Carved Nephrite Pendant & Brooch
About the Item
Uncommonly translucent nephrite jade with exceptionally fine coloring has been skilfully carved into the form of an expressive dragon contained within an oval form.
The 40.56mm x 29.72mm x 2.82mm nephrite is so translucent you can see your finger in shadow behind it. The carving has been beautifully rendered and then polished to a high gloss. The carving resides in a handmade 14k yellow gold frame, secured by 6 sturdy prongs. In addition to a trompone pin on the rear is a bail through which you can thread a chain. The gold is marked for metal fineness (14K) but no maker's mark. This brooch dates to approximately 1965-1975.
This uniquely lovely piece ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the nephrite is untreated.

- White Nephrite Jade Carved Fan PendantLocated in Southbury, CTAn absolutely stunning, highly translucent white nephrite jade (mutton fat) hand-carved pendant. The 89.71 x 54.77mm pendant has been carved by a master lapidary artist to depict a folding paper fan. It's a wonderful and original idea; I've never seen another carving quite like it. And the white nephrite jade is so fine, it lends itself perfectly to being rendered as a fan; the high translucence makes the fan glow endlessly. The surface of the nephrite has almost a pearly sheen. The fan features a simple silver bail and 24" silver chain. This striking, luminous carved-from-the-moon fan...Category

- Chinese Antique Qing Carved "Mutton Fat" Nephrite Plaque Pendant CertifiedLocated in Southbury, CTElegant, rare, and dating to the late Qing period (circa 1890s), this hand-carved nearly colorless white nephrite plaque has been etched on both sides. One one, the Chinese mythological figure known as Zhang Guo Lao is depicted riding a mule. On the opposite side, a magpie sits on a branch of cherry blossoms. The magpie is associated with intelligence. The carving is breathlessly simple and excellent; the work executed -of course- without the aid of electricity or modern tools. Measuring 42.54mm x 29.92mm, the plaque has a hole drilled through the center, which is original to the piece. A silver bail is threaded through the hole and a pair of beads -black jade and coral- reside at the bottom. The jade plaque hands from a 1920s silver chain that is 32" in length. Prior to the discovery of and appreciation for the very fine green jadeite from Burma, colorless, opaque, pure white nephrite jade from the Northern mountains of China was the most revered jade; the original "imperial jade, as only members of the royal court could wear or even touch it. Most of what is commercially sold today as "mutton fat...Category
