Type A Jadeite Bean Pod Pendant, Icy Clear, 18K Gold, 20mm

A natural Type A jadeite fu dou (福豆, bean pod) pendant in icy texture, clear and colorless, set in 18K white gold. The stone measures about 20 × 8.8 × 3.8 mm.

Icy jadeite is fine-grained and highly translucent, so light passes through it with a clear, watery glow. Clean and clear like ice, this pod holds three neatly rounded beans in a row, each with a bright glow across its surface. At 20 mm long, a little shorter than a one-yuan coin in the photo, it is a small, delicate bean pod, edged in a fine rim of white gold that keeps it light at the neck.

A small bean pod is easy to wear every day: on a fine chain at the collarbone it suits the office or a day out, and the clear color never competes with your clothes. "Fu dou" sounds like "fortune arrives" in Chinese, and a pod full of beans is a traditional wish for a growing family, so it makes a warm gift for newlyweds or a new mother.

Every natural jadeite has its own texture; look closely and you may find a tiny cotton spot or a stone line. This pendant is icy and lets light through, so strong light shows its inner detail more clearly. The gold setting reflects light, so photos can look a little brighter than the piece. Screens show color differently, so it helps to check the video as well.

This 20 mm pendant comes with a certificate, and before dispatch we check once more that the piece and the certificate match. Shipping is free and fully insured. Any import duties are paid on delivery.
