Large 55 mm Jadeite Jade Bi-Disc Pendant Necklace – Hand-Carved Dragon Motif on Brown Cord
Inspired by centuries of Chinese jade carving traditions, this striking necklace features a substantial hand-carved jadeite jade bi disc suspended from a rich chocolate-brown silk cord accented with coordinating jade beads.
The impressive 55 mm diameter jade pendant displays the soft, waxy luster prized in natural jadeite, with beautiful mottled shades of grayish-white highlighted by rich green inclusions that make every piece uniquely one of a kind. One side features a finely carved chilong (dragon) motif, a traditional symbol associated with protection, longevity, and prosperity, while the reverse is adorned with flowing auspicious scrollwork, allowing the pendant to be worn with either side facing forward.
The polished jade disc is suspended from a dark brown satin cord, its warm earth tones providing an elegant contrast to the cool jade. Three coordinating jade donut beads complete the design, while a secure hook-and-figure-eight clasp offers comfortable everyday wear.
Equally at home with casual attire or elevated wardrobe styling, this distinctive necklace beautifully blends traditional symbolism with timeless contemporary design. #90
