Jade Pendant Lake Water Bluish-Green Certified Untreated

About the Item

So translucent that it's nearly semi-transparent, this early Art Deco era (circa 1920) natural and untreated Burmese jadeite jade pendant has been carved to depict a grouping of melons or gourds. The lines of the carving are clean, sketch-like in their simplicity. A brilliant choice by the lapidary artist because this allows the design of the carving to remain a few steps behind the magnificently unique coloring and high translucency. Lake Jade or Lake Water Jade is a name sometimes given to jade that has a greenish-bluish color. But here, we have a central tangle of what appears to be sticks, dried grasses, clumped together in the center, making this "lake jade" pendant all the more lake-like. It took me a long time, but I eventually located a perfectly matched 6.85mm hand-carved jadeite bead with an inclusion that perfectly compliments the "branches" in the pendant. A handmade platinum wire bail completes the piece. The jade alone measures 38.69mm tall, 24.82mm wide, and 4.07mm thick. With the bail, the height becomes 56.58mm. Luminous, watery, magical. This is a truly extraordinary pendant. Ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating that the jade is untreated jadeite from Burma (Myanmar). Chain not included.

  • Jade Pendant, Vivid Green, Impeccable Carving, Certified Untreated Chromium Jade
    Located in Southbury, CT
    The jade carving you see here is no ordinary jade carving. It is a variety of jade known as kosmochlor jade. What, you ask, is kosmochlor jade? Well, it is also known as chromium jadeite. And chromium is the chemical element that gives jadeite its legendary emerald-green coloring. Chromium also gives South American emeralds their legendary emerald green coloring. Chromium jadeite is like jade with an extra helping of green. It's intensely colored jade that is also intensely beautiful. The jade carving has been certified by Stone Group Labs to be untreated kosmochlor jade from Burma. As the lab certificate explains, "Jadeite, Omphacite and Kosmochlor are distinct yet closely related minerals, commonly intergrown. Western countries refer to all as jade and by their more specific names when identification is possible. In Asia, they may all be collectively referred to as Fei Cui. Kosmochlor may also be referred to as chromium jadeite." The 14K yellow gold pendant dates to the 1940s and the hand-carved jade depicts flowers, a coin, and what I believe is fungi. Prosperity, longevity; these themes are found repeatedly in Chinese jade carvings...
