Antique 19c Chinese Russet Jade Carved Concentric Bi Disc Pendant Necklace 18"
About the Item
This 19th-century Chinese russet jade bi-disc pendant is a stunning piece of jewelry that beautifully encapsulates the rich heritage and artistry of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. The pendant, crafted from russet jade, exudes a warm, earthy elegance that is both striking and refined.
The bi-disc, a flat, circular jade object with a central hole, is an artifact steeped in cultural significance, traditionally symbolizing the heavens and the eternal nature of the universe. The russet color of the jade adds a unique depth to the piece, as this hue is often associated with the earth and grounding properties in Chinese culture.
What sets this pendant apart are the intricately carved concentric markings that radiate from the center hole to the outer edge. These markings are not just decorative; they carry symbolic meanings, possibly representing the expansion of the universe or the ripple effect of one's actions.
Transformed into a modern choker-style necklace, this antique bi-disc is given a contemporary twist while preserving its historical essence. The necklace is completed with a closure made of jadeite beads, adding a touch of contrast in color and texture, and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
This russet jade bi-disc pendant, with its rich symbolism, intricate carvings, and elegant design, is more than just a piece of jewelry. It is a wearable piece of history, bridging the gap between the ancient and the modern, and would make a sophisticated addition to any collection.
