White Nephrite Jade Carved Fan Pendant
Located in Southbury, CT
An 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...

Jade Pendant Carved Translucent Lavender Squash Blossom Pendant Certified
Located in Southbury, CT
The true beauty of this carved jadeite jade pendant is difficult to capture in photographs; more difficult still to describe in words. Carved by hand in the form of an entangled squash blossom, the jade stone is highly translucent; the light lavender jade is complemented by pale yellow. When light strikes the stone at an angle and not from behind, the surface of the jade displays...

Bright Apple Green Jadeite Jade Necklace Certified Untreated
Located in Southbury, CT
Bright, and filled with light, this radiant Art Deco era (circa 1920s -1930s) necklace is composed of 107 hand-carved and polished natural and untreated Burmese jadeite jade beads. The beads range in size from 4.13mm to 9.38.
Overall, the beads are a bright, fresh spring green. I would say "pea green" but that sounds so awful. In truth, the beads are the color of those hard and shiny peas that you see when you crack open the first pod of the season. But these beads are also genetically gifted: they contain little patches of shockingly perfect imperial green, deep forest green, and even a green so faint it reminds me of light green velvet rubbed the wrong way so that light reflects off where you stroked your finger over the velvet and the green velvet is now whiter.
Yes, go ahead and say it: the necklace deserves a finer clasp. But does it? This clasp is original to the piece. It was made by hand in the early twentieth century. It's silver and once it was gilt. It's a clasp I've seen on many jade and beaded necklaces from this period and I find the humble nature...
