18K White Gold Jadeite Jade and Diamond Butterfly Pendant
Product Overview
This elegant butterfly pendant is crafted in luminous white gold and features a refined circular form that balances modern polish with symbolic artistry. The circle features a high-polished top that discreetly conceals the bale, while diamond-set sides add a subtle halo of brilliance. Secured to the lower portion of the circle, the butterfly appears to partially conceal the bottom of the circle. The butterfly’s wings are masterfully carved from jadeite, a prized material for its smooth texture and rich, natural beauty.
The wings are articulated with scalloped edges and gently curved sections that evoke the graceful span of a butterfly in flight. At the tips of both the upper and lower wings, diamond-set ‘V’ accents add flashes of light and define the silhouette with precision. The butterfly’s body is rendered in white gold as a stacked circular and marquise-shaped form, both set with diamonds, while two vivid rubies bring the eyes to life. Delicate, curved antennae rise from the head, completing the lifelike, whimsical detailing. An adjustable 16–18 inch 18K white gold curb-link chain with a lobster clasp is included.
Jadeite jade is the rarest and most valuable form of jade, revered for centuries for its durability, silky luster, and spiritual significance. Often associated with harmony, protection, and good fortune, jadeite has long held a place of honour in fine jewellery and ornamental art. Butterflies, meanwhile, are powerful symbols of transformation, renewal, and joy, representing beauty born from change.
