AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautifully carved natural jadeite (Feicui) pendant, certified Type-A (翡翠 A貨) by the NGTC — meaning the jade is 100% natural, with no dyeing, bleaching, resin impregnation or other treatment.

The pendant takes the form of a generous round disc, worked in openwork relief with a lush composition of blossoming flowers, leaves and scrolling foliage, among which a delicate butterfly alights. The carving is deep and multi-layered, with pierced negative spaces that lend the piece movement and lightness and allow the stone's translucency to catch the light from every angle. The reverse continues the design, so the pendant is finished and expressive on both faces.

The jade shows a soft, icy translucency with a delicate light-green tone (浅綠), a serene and understated colour that pairs easily with any wardrobe. Under magnification the stone reveals the fibrous interweaving structure characteristic of genuine natural jadeite. The butterfly-and-flower pairing is one of the most beloved motifs in Chinese jade carving, a classic emblem of love, joy and long life — an elegant and meaningful piece to wear or to gift.

The pendant comes on its original braided cord, ready to wear.
