Nephrite Jade Carved Pendant
About the Item
Hand-carved by a young lapidary artist on the West Coast of the United States, this unusual and beautiful oval nephrite pendant features a high-gloss polish that and displays two different faces, depending upon which way you wear it. On one side, the 32mm x 25mm disk is a muted and mottled olive green while on the other side, flames of mineral-colored nephrite occupy half the stone. The disk is topped by a pair of gemmy green nephrite beads, all of which is suspended from a sturdy brown nylon cord that is adjustable from approximately 22" to 16" by pulling on the pair of knots.
You need to see this deceptively simple carving up-close to appreciate that "oval disk" describes this stone carving about as accurately as a "two-door car" describes a Ferrari. The edge of the carving is so finely executed that light behaves like water on the surface of this pendant; hold it flat in your hand and tip it and the light will spill over the edges.
The artist created such a cunning piece. The stone truly looks like two different stones. The rich, felt-like texture on the bi-color side is endlessly fascinating to those who love jade; the mottled green side is soothingly simple.
Perfectly unisex, this pendant ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating the jade is untreated nephrite.

- 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
