Description
Grade A green jade leaves earrings with excellent lustre and translucency. The green hue is rich and intense, and evenly distributed uniformly across the jadeite leaves. The clarity of the jadeite leaves is also excellent with no significant inclusions to note. The thickness of the jadeite pair is good, hence when combined with the delicate carvings, the leaves feel full to touch with each blade appearing plump in shape. Quality of the jadeite leaves is high with very rich water content, hence both jadeite leaves appear glossy and shiny.
Leaf represents “forever green”, is a symbol of productivity and longevity due to its abundance. Leaf in chinese character “树叶” has similar pronunciation to chinese character for career “事业”, hence also implies progression and success in career.
