The unique elegance of lavender jadeite
Lavender-coloured jadeite is a stone sought after by connoisseurs for its rarity and pastel hue. This shade offers a subtle alternative to the classic imperial green jade. At the centre of this pre-owned piece lies a translucent jadeite cut into a pear-shaped cabochon. This gem, weighing approximately 16.50 carats, boasts impressive volume and a smooth surface. The cabochon cut emphasises the depth of colour and the fluidity of the lines. The piece is crafted from 750 white gold, lending this jewel a contemporary and refined aesthetic.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The asymmetrical white gold setting follows the lower and lateral curves of the central stone. This structure is suspended from a hinged bail, allowing for natural movement. The metal arch is accentuated by a pavé setting of brilliant-cut diamonds held in place by fine prongs. These colourless gemstones provide a subtle contrast to the central cabochon. The forçat-link chain features six round-cut blue sapphires. These accent stones are encircled by a closed setting cast directly into the links, demonstrating great technical mastery.
Why choose this second-hand pendant necklace
Acquiring a lavender jadeite weighing over 16 carats is a discerning choice. The bespoke design and the delicate integration of the sapphires into the chain require precise craftsmanship. This pre-owned piece offers access to a substantial gemstone and a modern asymmetrical design at a fair price reflecting the cost of the materials and craftsmanship.
