There are two outlines of 18K rose gold around this deep, even green nephrite jade gourd, a thin rim pressed to the jade and a wider band just beyond it. The band begins in two small curls flanking the pointed tip, comes down both sides of the upper lobe and past the waist, then swings under the full, round lower lobe. The tiny gold cap on the tip lies between the two curls, just below the bail. The rim also puts out two small prongs low on the lower lobe, reaching onto the edge of the domed, glossy front. Untreated nephrite jade, gourd 22.5 × 15 × 8.7 mm, 5.2 g. 18K rose gold chain, setting and bail. One of a kind.

FAQ
Nephrite or jadeite? Both are jade, and both are exceptionally tough. Nephrite is the tougher of the two, with a softer, quieter luster; jadeite is harder and glassier. Natural nephrite jade is the principal stone in every JIE JIANG piece; where a piece also carries jadeite, its product page says so. The species is written on the tag; an NGTC certificate (China's National Gemstone Testing Center) is available on request for any piece, and a GIA identification report for high-value pieces.
Does it change with wear? Physically, a little: nephrite is very tough but not scratch-proof, so years of daily wear can leave fine surface marks. It does not fade or change colour.
Water and sweat? Fine for hand-washing and rain. Take it off for pools, hot tubs and sport: chlorine and sweat wear on silk thread and metal findings rather than on the stone. Dry it before storing.
