Nian Cui - Natural Burmese Jadeite (A-grade) - Icy Lavender Elephant Trunk God Pendant with 14K Gold-Filled

14kgf (14K Gold-Filled, Made in USA) This material has become highly popular for its design versatility in recent years. Compared to traditional gold plating, it's less prone to fading or oxidation. 14kgf involves using high-pressure technology to clad pure 14K gold onto the entire surface of a base metal alloy. The outer layer of K gold is exceptionally hard, highly resistant to wear, and will not peel off. It contains 5% gold content. Therefore, 14KGF possesses the characteristics of 14K gold while remaining affordably luxurious. All product photos are taken under natural daylight by a window. No photo editing or color adjustment has been applied, ensuring the most authentic representation. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49752488412_c5f16263c4_b.jpg <<About Jadeite>> Sourced from Myanmar, "A-grade" jadeite in the market refers to raw stones that have undergone absolutely no human intervention, such as artificial filling or dyeing. This is distinctly different from the sophisticated imitations found elsewhere! (chuckles) The allure of jadeite lies in its moist, translucent quality, the flow of its color, and its unique forms. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. The more superior the translucency and color, the higher the price; even subtle differences can lead to a vast disparity in value. Distinguishing genuine jadeite by the naked eye alone is not sufficient. Certificates from reputable gemological appraisal centers typically cost $1000-$2000, making the careful selection of a seller extremely important. ^^ https://farm1.staticflickr.com/860/42999762604_bf0b5e7d09_z.jpg <<About the Gemstones and Minerals We Use>> All the gemstones and minerals in our shop are personally selected by us every one to two months at the Guangzhou Jade Market.
