Type A Jadeite Gourd Pendant, Yang Green, 18K Gold, 13.6mm

A natural Type A jadeite gourd pendant in icy-glutinous texture, yang green, set in 18K white gold, stone about 13.6 × 10 × 2.2 mm.

Icy-glutinous jadeite sits between icy and glutinous: fine-grained and semi-translucent, with a soft glow. The seller said "beautiful color". The whole gourd is a bright yang green, a little lighter in the upper bulb and richer in the lower one, vivid rather than heavy, and where light passes through it looks like freshly brewed green tea. The 18K white gold mount has a double border with small white stones around the gourd and a stone-set flower bail on top, which makes the green pop.

At 13.6 mm the gourd is fingertip-sized but the green is eye-catching: lovely alone on a fine chain, and easy to layer with pearls or a gold chain. The gourd stands for fortune and prosperity and yang green is the most loved jade color, a gift that suits a young woman or a mother alike.

Natural jadeite shifts a little with the light, warmer indoors and fresher in daylight. Every photo and video of this 13.6 mm yang green gourd shows this exact piece, with no color editing. The gold setting reflects light, so photos can look slightly brighter than the piece.
