Type A Jadeite Dragon Plaque Pendant, Icy with Green, 53mm

A natural Type A jadeite dragon plaque pendant in icy texture, clear and nearly colorless with a few touches of green, about 53.2 × 46.1 × 5.4 mm.

Icy jadeite is fine-grained and highly translucent, so light passes through it with a clear, watery glow. Clean and flawless with a strong glow, and a few spots of bright green near the dragon and at the bottom edge. The free-form plaque is carved in relief with the dragon's head at the top and its body coiling through clouds beside a round, smooth pearl, sparkling in the clear material.

The dragon is the most honored auspicious creature in Chinese culture, standing for strength and drive. Dragon plaques are a classic choice for men and look striking on women too. At 53.2 mm it is a large piece to wear on the chest. It comes without a bail, which can be added on request.

Type A jadeite is never acid-bleached or polymer-filled, so its original cotton and stone lines stay as they are. The flowers in this 53.2 mm pendant sit where nature put them; no other piece has quite the same pattern. Every photo and video on this page shows this exact piece.

This 53.2 mm pendant comes with a certificate, and before dispatch we check once more that the piece and the certificate match. Once confirmed, it goes out free by insured, tracked post.
