A beautifully carved jadeite pendant suspended from an ornate 18 kt gold openwork bail. The natural jadeite (Feicui) is icy and translucent — a pale, near-glassy stone washed with soft light green, the colour drifting gently through the material and glowing when held to the light. The stone is hand-carved in the form of a ruyi (如意), the classic Chinese sceptre motif, its flowing scrolled head and curving body following the natural shape of the jade in soft relief. The 18 kt gold bail is worked in a delicate lattice openwork, a warm golden accent that frames the cool, watery green of the jade and lifts the whole piece. Certified by the NGTC (National Gemstone Testing Centre) as natural Grade/Type A jadeite, the jade has undergone no impregnation, dyeing, or treatment of any kind — the colour and structure are entirely as nature formed them, with the characteristic fibrous interlocking texture that defines fine jade under magnification. The ruyi is one of the most auspicious motifs in Chinese tradition — its name means "as you wish," and it has long been treasured as a symbol of good fortune, blessing, and the granting of one's heart's desires. Rendered in icy, translucent jade, the motif carries that meaning with a particularly serene and elegant beauty. It comes ready to wear on the included colour-matching stainless steel necklace, offered as a gift with the pendant.
