A beautifully translucent jadeite pendant in a clear, icy white — the highly sought-after "glassy" look, where light passes softly into the stone and gives it a luminous, water-like clarity. It is certified natural Type A (翡翠A貨) by the NGTC — untreated, showing only the fibrous interwoven structure that is the hallmark of genuine 翡翠. Its certified colour is recorded as white (白). The stone is hand-carved as a fairy (仙女) — a graceful celestial maiden with flowing robes and hair, a much-loved figure in Chinese art symbolising beauty, grace, blessing and good fortune, often seen as a bringer of auspicious wishes and protection to the wearer. The translucent icy jade suits the subject perfectly, lending the figure an ethereal, almost weightless quality. She is suspended from an openwork 18K gold bail with a delicate scrolled pattern. White jadeite has long been treasured in Chinese culture as a symbol of purity, clarity of heart and quiet virtue, its translucency prized above almost all other qualities in fine jade. Comes with a colour-matching stainless steel necklace as a gift for immediate wear.
