DESCRIPTION
This exceptional pendant features a supreme “Old Mine” jadeite carving of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. The jadeite exhibits a highly saturated “Vivid Green” hue with remarkable translucency and a fine-grained texture, resulting in a brilliant vitreous luster. The deity is rendered with a serene and dignified expression, with fluid, rhythmic lines that convey a sense of transcendental peace and ethereal grace.
The mounting is an exemplar of Western high-jewelry technique. The halo surrounding the Guanyin is meticulously set with baguette-cut diamonds to create a radiant, architectural glow, while the base and bale are accented with brilliant-round diamonds. The reverse features intricate honeycomb metalwork in 18K white gold, a hallmark of master craftsmanship designed to optimize light pathing through the jadeite while ensuring ultimate wearing comfort. With a delicate thickness of 0.29 cm, the stone displays exceptional light transmission, representing a harmonious synthesis of traditional Eastern spirituality and sophisticated modern jewelry art.
描述
此件吊坠镶嵌一颗极品老坑种翡翠，精雕为观音菩萨圣像。翡翠色泽浓郁鲜艳（Vivid Green），达到了顶级的“帝王绿”色域。其水头极足，质地细腻通透，在自然光下呈现出迷人的玻璃光泽。观音面相庄严慈祥，衣褶线条如行云流水，尽显超脱尘世的静谧感。
吊坠的镶嵌工艺堪称西方高级珠宝的典范。环绕观音头部的光环由精选**阶梯方钻（Baguette-cut）紧密排布，营造出神圣而具建筑感的放射光芒；底座则点缀圆钻，材质选用18K白金。吊坠背部采用复杂的蜂窝状（Honeycomb）**金属镂空工艺，不仅减轻了佩戴负担，更通过科学的折射角度最大限度地提升了翡翠的透亮度与火彩。此件翡翠厚度约为0.29厘米，极佳的透光性使其色泽更加灵动。这件作品不仅是一件收藏级的珠宝，更是东方传统禅意与西方顶级镶嵌工艺的完美融合。
EXPERT’S NOTE
“Old Mine” jadeite of this intense saturation and clarity is increasingly scarce in the current market. The use of baguette diamonds in the halo is a sophisticated choice, as their step-cut facets provide a cleaner, more majestic contrast to the soft curves of the jadeite carving. The honeycomb reverse is a testament to the pendant’s quality, typically reserved for high-value gemstones to ensure they “breathe” with light.
达到此种饱和度与透明度的“老坑种”翡翠在当今市场上愈发稀缺。光环处选用阶梯方钻是极具品位的艺术选择，其利落的刻面与翡翠圆润的雕刻线条形成了刚柔并济的视觉对比。背面的蜂窝状工艺是高级珠宝的身份证明，通常仅用于顶级宝石，以确保光线能全方位穿透并映射出翡翠的最佳种水。
