Outstanding white jade necklace with a large central citrine, 18k white gold, and three diamonds. The necklace is composed of 34 faceted white jade beads, culminating in a large, oval-cut, faceted citrine centerpiece set in four prongs. The oval cut is essentially an elongated version of the brilliant cut. It is a uniform and symmetrical cut, full of small facets that reflect light as if emanating from the stone itself. Besides its symbolism as a stone of abundance, citrine is associated with mental clarity, creativity, and confidence. It is said to stimulate the mind and aid in making important decisions.
Both the spherical clasp and the pendant from which the citrine hangs are made of 18k white gold with hallmarks. Three small inlaid diamonds adorn the small pendant.
White jade is the most prized type of jade in jewelry. It is valued for its whiteness and healing properties. It possesses unique characteristics and distinctive chemical properties, making it a highly prized mineral. It is composed of sodium, aluminum, and silicon atoms, forming a unique crystalline structure. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, it scores between 6.5 and 7, making it scratch-resistant and suitable for everyday use.
This fabulous stone, of dazzling purity, is steeped in legends, myths, and stories, especially in Chinese culture. In fact, a popular legend tells the story of a jade rabbit that lives on the moon, symbolizing purity and immortality. For this reason, it is associated with Chang'e, the moon goddess. The Jade Emperor is an equally important figure. Often considered the ruler of heaven, he is said to have the power to transform mortals into gods and is often depicted holding a white jade stone, a symbol of his power and wisdom. White jade holds a special place in Chinese culture as a symbol of virtue, beauty, and immortality.
