Would I trade my soul for "Princess Nina Mdivani's" jade necklace that Barbara Hutton's father purchased and then gave to his daughter as a wedding gift? Well, of course I would. But I also love the most humble jade. The Bi disk—a circular form with a hole in the center—dates to neolithic China. Laboriously carved Bi disks were buried with the dead to accompany them on their journey in the afterlife. The disk may have represented "heaven" and the circular form reflecting the never-ending cycle of life. It's one of the earliest shapes used in worship and today has different significance to different people. I deeply appreciate the spare, elegant form of this pendant. There is a naked simplicity in the way this highly translucent, mottled green disk, which has been carved paper-thin (1.3mm), is suspended by a simple but *crafted* silver buckle and then attached to a single natural coral bead of a vibrant tomato red. These two ornaments are suspended from what simply must be its original chain. The chain is as delicate as the jade is thin; like the jade, the chain is strong. The links are very well-constructed. The chain is silver -825- but not sterling. Nonetheless, it bears a very fine, almost microscopic maker's mark. Who would actually sign their name to a chain that isn't even fine silver? An artist, that's who. Somebody with excellent taste, a high measure of skill and a firmly established set of priorities: quality jade: top priority; quality coral: top priority; chain: strong. This piece should not be confused with the "Chinese export" jewelry that was created for the international markets in the early part of the 20th century. This necklace would have been made by a Chinese jeweler or craftsman for somebody who lived, worked and raised a family in China. You might think a pendant such as this would be a common thing. But you would be mistaken. Chinese export jewelry is much more common—and it can be spectacularly beautiful—than non-export antique Chinese jewelry...
