Large Jadeite and Silver Necklace, 19th Century



We have a large collection of antique jadeite carvings from late Qing Dynasty. This is among the best of this group. The large heart-shaped jadeite pendant is elaborately carved in high relief on both sides. A scene of two leaping carps among wave, lotus leaves and flowers is carved on one side. The other side is carved with a deer underneath an old tree beside rock work. The carver skillfully used the vivid green veining of the glassy jadeite stone to enhance the picture where green color depicts leaves and deer's head. The stone is of well-polished glassy quality with large patches of vivid and transparent emerald green. The recess area may require some cleaning to bring out the fine patina as shown on the green area. The pendant is framed with original antique silver lining with an attached silver chain on the top and three dangled balls at the bottom. Except for a few small chips at the edge of the jadeite pendant, the silver necklace with a large carved jadeite pendant is in excellent condition. It is extremely rare to find antique jadeite carving of this size and quality complete with its original mounting.
Size: Jadeite pendant: 9.5cm X 7.4cm; Total suspended necklace length: 36.7cm
