Type A Jadeite Huai Gu Disc Pendant, Lavender, Gold Set

A natural Type A jadeite huai gu (怀古) disc pendant in lavender, set in real gold, about 28.8 mm across (listed by the seller as 28.8/11.8).

Icy-glutinous jadeite sits between icy and glutinous: fine-grained and semi-translucent, with a soft glow. A beautiful color: the whole disc is an even, soft lavender, fine and moist, with a full, rounded face polished bright. The bail at the top is set in real gold and ready to hang on a chain. Soft lavender flatters most skin tones and feels gentle for everyday wear.

A huai gu is a round disc with a small center hole, similar to a safety coin but with a smaller hole and a fuller, domed face. Its name means "remembering the ancients", a wish to stay true to one's roots. A traditional design for women and men alike.

This is natural material, and some areas may show faint cotton spots or stone lines, which are normal natural features. The lavender of this 28.8 mm pendant is sensitive to light: warmer light pulls it pink, daylight pulls it blue. 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.
