Jade Archive No. JA00348 Collection Name Lotus by the Water Category Pendant / Lotus Pendant / Freeform Jade Pendant Jade Quality & Color Grade: Icy Color: Pale Blue-White with Natural Green Floating Patterns Transparency: Medium-High Dimensions Main Jade: Approx. 42 × 30 × 4 mm Materials Main Stone: Natural Jadeite (Type A) Accessory: Adjustable Braided Cord Necklace Observation JA00348 is a natural icy jadeite pendant measuring approximately 42 × 30 × 4 mm. Its character comes from the relationship between its freeform silhouette, naturally distributed green patterns, and carved lotus motif. Rather than being shaped into a perfectly symmetrical rectangle or circle, the pendant retains an organic outline that follows the original proportions of the jade. From the photograph, the stone presents a pale blue-white base with a softly translucent icy appearance. Natural green areas appear throughout the jade in irregular concentrations, creating subtle variations in color and depth across the surface. These green patterns are not evenly distributed. Some areas remain quiet and pale, while others contain deeper touches of green, allowing the natural material itself to create an abstract composition. Toward the lower section of the pendant, a lotus motif is carved in softly rounded relief. The petals follow the freeform lower edge of the jade, giving the carving a natural relationship with the original shape of the stone. The upper portion is intentionally left more open. Instead of covering the entire surface with carving, this open area allows the icy jade, natural green patterns, and internal textures to remain visible. A dark adjustable braided cord completes the piece without introducing a metal setting, keeping the focus entirely on the jade. Features The defining qualities of JA00348 are its icy jadeite texture, natural green floating patterns, freeform silhouette, lotus carving, and generous use of negative space. This piece does not attempt to fill every part of the jade with decoration. The lotus is concentrated toward the lower portion, while much of the upper jade surface remains relatively untouched. As a result, the naturally occurring green patterns become part of the composition. Against the pale blue-white background, these areas of green may suggest aquatic plants, distant foliage, or colors appearing beneath the surface of water. The lotus below provides a recognizable focal point while allowing the surrounding natural textures to remain abstract. Its irregular silhouette is equally important. Instead of forcing the original material into a standardized pendant shape, the freeform outline preserves more of the jade's individual character. The final composition therefore comes from three elements working together: the original stone, the colors created by nature, and the carving introduced by hand. Style Elegant and organic, with a quiet East Asian atmosphere and a sense of water, mist, and open space. Suitable For JA00348 is suited to collectors who appreciate icy jadeite, naturally floating green patterns, lotus motifs, freeform carving, and jade jewelry with an organic rather than standardized appearance. At approximately 42 mm in height, it has noticeably more visual presence than a petite jade pendant, while its approximately 4 mm thickness keeps the profile relatively light. It is particularly interesting for collectors who enjoy interpreting naturally occurring jade patterns. The green areas do not need to form a literal picture. Depending on the viewer, they may resemble plants beneath water, distant scenery, drifting color, or simply an abstract composition that belongs only to this piece. This relationship between natural pattern and carved subject is part of what makes JA00348 a One of One jade collectible. Story There was already a little green inside the jade. It appeared without a fixed pattern—perhaps like aquatic plants, perhaps like distant trees reflected on water. So the entire stone was not carved. Only a lotus was left near the bottom, while the remaining space was returned to the jade itself. The pale blue-white stone became water. The naturally floating green became scenery. And from that quiet landscape, a lotus seemed to emerge. JA00348 — Lotus by the Water was not created by drawing a complete landscape first and forcing the jade to follow it. Instead, the landscape was already waiting inside the stone. The carving simply gave it one lotus. Jade Archive This piece is part of the 10000 Jade Archive collection.

Part of the beauty of natural jade is that nature has already completed half of the creative process before human hands ever touch the stone. Where a green pattern appears, how color gathers and disperses, and how subtle internal textures move through the material can never be reproduced in exactly the same way. Good carving does not always mean filling every available surface. Sometimes it means knowing where to stop—leaving enough space for the natural jade to continue speaking for itself. Collecting a piece like this is a little like collecting an artwork begun by nature and completed by hand. And as the jade continues to accompany its owner, another layer is gradually added: the time, memories, and everyday life of the person who wears it.
