This snail is exquisitely beautiful. It's cleverly carved to form the snail's shell and body, taking inspiration from the stone's natural colors and texture. This technique of utilizing the stone's characteristics is known as "clever carving with color" in jade craftsmanship. The overall jade quality is lustrous and fine, with soft, captivating colors. 🔸 The coin in the photo is a Hong Kong one-dollar coin (25mm), approximately the size of a New Taiwan Dollar 10 or a Singapore 1 dollar. The large top bead is made of shell, and the smaller top bead is made of jadeite. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54963085670_0d4ec1f39f_z.jpg Traditionally, the snail symbolizes the auspicious meaning of "settling down and thriving." For me, as an artist, it represents a kind of strength in life—no matter the difficulties we face, we can always find a solid, safe haven where our spirit can rest peacefully. ◇ Dimensions | Approx. 37/17/10 mm ◇ Origin | China ◇ Appraisal Result | Hetian Jade ◇ Appraisal Center | Luzheng ◇ Photography | Natural light by the window ◇ Includes | Necklace cord (as shown) 【Note】Natural jade pieces may inevitably have inclusions, color streaks, cloudiness, and stone patterns.
