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 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...
