Type A Jadeite Pea Pod Pendant, Icy Yellow, 18K Gold, 23mm

A natural Type A jadeite pea pod (福豆, fu dou) pendant in icy texture, yellow jadeite (冰黄, icy yellow), set in 18K white gold. The stone measures about 23 × 7.6 × 3.8 mm.

Icy jadeite is fine-grained and highly translucent, so light passes through it with a clear, watery glow. Distinctive and clean: translucent yellow jadeite is uncommon, and this pod is a clear golden yellow all through, like honey held to the light, its three beans each a little fuller than the last. A white-gold frame wraps the whole pod and the back is pierced with a floral pattern, so it looks good from both sides.

The pea pod, a pod holding several beans, wishes for many blessings and a growing family. A yellow pod is rarer than a green one; at 23 mm it suits a fine chain and catches the eye at the neckline.

As a natural mineral, jadeite nearly always carries some cotton or stone lines; they do not affect wear. On a phone screen the color of this 23 mm yellow pea pod can look stronger or paler than it is, so the video in natural light is the best guide. The gold setting reflects light, so photos can look slightly brighter than the piece.
