Rich in carved detail and graphic presence, this lake green Burmese jadeite jade pendant is centered on a traditional pi disc — one of the most ancient and revered forms in Chinese jade carving, with its central aperture symbolizing the heavens. The substantial jade is framed by a distinctive 18K white gold bail formed as an openwork snowflake motif. Its crisp, angular lines create an unexpected counterpoint to the softly rounded jade and its flowing hand-carved relief, giving the pendant a remarkable balance of traditional material and modern presentation.
The disc is carved across its surface with layered floral forms and curving cloud-like motifs that lend the jadeite an almost talismanic character. It displays a smooth, satiny luster characteristic of oil-green jadeite, with a soft waxy depth that enhances the carved relief. The lake green coloration is a nuanced green with soft smoky undertones rather than an overly bright or uniform appearance. This depth of color works particularly well with the relief carving, as the recesses and raised areas catch light differently and reveal more of the design as the pendant moves.
