PROPERTY OF A PRIVATE COLLECTOR

A VERY FINE AND RARE PAIR OF JADEITE AND DIAMOND PENDENT NECKLACES

非常珍美罕有 天然翡翠雕「平安扣」 配 鑽石 項鏈一對


Each jadeite hoop of intense emerald green colour, with high translucency, set with a brilliant-cut diamond surmount, the surrounding side accented with brilliant-cut diamonds, suspended from a black cord, mounted in 18 karat white gold.


Hoops approximately 29.98 x 7.05 x 3.06mm and 29.15 x 6.71 x 3.31mm. 


Accompanied by two Hong Kong Jade & Stone Laboratory certificates no. KJ 101971 and KJ 101972, both dated 3 August 2020, stating that the jadeite are natural, known in the trade as "A Jade".

Harmonious Hoops


This pair of jadeite hoop is a traditional style of jewellery known as the known as ping’an kou pendant. The characters “pingan” generally mean serenity and kou refers to the button shape, together expressing a wish for peace and safety. Each pendant is a disc; the outer circle represents the expansiveness of heaven and earth, while the inner circle symbolises inner tranquillity and freedom from want. Harmoniously fused, the two circles perfectly express the ideals of human generosity and peaceful coexistence. The pendants protect their wearer from harm.


The 18k platinum bases of both pendants can be freely opened and closed. The jadeite is clear and transparent, with a deep and luxurious tonality and attractive translucency and luminosity. Its watery texture endows it with an understated elegance. Sharing the same colour and texture, the two pendants were carved from the same block of jadeite, making them even more precious. Understated, elegant, and modern, they are further inlaid with diamonds and attached with a black string.


和諧雙環


翡翠雕平安扣,或是翡翠羅漢眼,是傳統的翡翠玉雕飾品。平安扣中的「平安」二字直抒寓意,「扣」字更為貼切生動,飽含世人對平安吉祥的美好願景。其造型內外皆圓,外圓代表遼闊天地,內圓象徵內心寧靜淡遠。兩圓的完美結合象徵世人應有包容及大度之心,也寓意和諧統一。佩戴貼身潤膚,護身辟邪。


此兩枚「平安扣」均未封底,18K白金後蓋可開合。翡翠清澈透亮,顏色濃重豔麗,晶瑩滋潤,質地上乘種水質地賦予了其獨特內斂優雅的韻味。此兩枚天造地設的翡翠「平安扣」顏色與紋理均一致,只有同一原石取材琢磨,方得此對美物。再加上完美的質地,透明度及顏色,可謂彌足珍貴。此外兩枚「平安扣」均鑲嵌以鑽石,配以黑色繩帶,簡潔大方,摩登優雅。
