Type A Jadeite Cabochon Pendant, Spicy Green, Gold Set, 14mm

A natural Type A jadeite cabochon pendant in icy texture and spicy green (辣绿), set in real gold. The stone measures about 14 × 13.1 × 4.8 mm.

Icy jadeite is fine-grained and highly translucent, so light passes through it with a clear, watery glow. A beautiful color: the nearly round cabochon is full and high-domed, an even, intense spicy green all over, bright and translucent with a strong glow. Spicy green (la lü, 辣绿) is the trade name for a vivid, intense green with a slight yellow tone, very eye-catching. It is set in real gold and ready to hang on a chain.

A cabochon is jadeite polished into a smooth dome, the cut that shows color and translucency best; fully colored spicy green cabochons are among the most sought-after jadeite pieces.

Type A jadeite is never acid-bleached or polymer-filled, so its original cotton and stone lines stay as they are. Phone screens can make the green of this 14 mm pendant look brighter or darker than it is; the video in natural light is the best guide. The gold setting reflects light, so photos can look a little brighter than the piece. Every photo and video on this page shows this exact piece.
