Type A Jadeite Leaf Pendant, Icy Pale Blue, 18K Gold, 34.5mm

A natural Type A jadeite leaf pendant in icy texture, pale clear blue (蓝晴水), set in 18K white gold. The stone measures about 34.5 × 19.6 × 4 mm.

Icy jadeite is fine-grained and highly translucent, so light passes through it with a clear, watery glow. Clean and flawless: the leaf is as clear as a piece of pale blue ice, its few veins carved deep and flowing, so light breaks out of the hollows and the whole leaf shimmers like water. A fine white-gold rim follows the edge, and the open back setting leaves the front almost entirely jade.

Compared with a leaf on a simple bail, the full rim protects the edges in daily wear. The cool, clean pale blue is especially pretty with white or light summer clothes, and since "ye" (leaf) sounds like the word for career, it makes a good promotion or graduation gift.

Natural jadeite shifts a little with the light, warmer indoors and fresher in daylight. Every photo and video of this 34.5 mm gold-set leaf shows this exact piece, with no color editing. The gold setting reflects light, so photos can look slightly brighter than the piece.

This 34.5 mm gold-set leaf has its own certificate from an accredited national gem testing lab. Once inspection confirms the match it is packed and sent, shipping free and fully insured; any import tax is paid by the recipient.
