The pendant measures about 5 centimeters in diameter and roughly 7 millimeters thick, with a smooth, semi-glossy finish and a subtle waxy luster. The cord is made using a Tibetan-style braiding technique, combining multiple strands of green and brown thread into a thick, textured weave. Interspersed along the cord are beads in translucent green, brownish-orange with a marbled look, pale milky-white or light green, and small yellowish-orange tones, each secured between knotted sections. Loose, frayed tassels in green and brown hang just above the pendant, and a small accent knot with red and blue threads sits near the center of the braided section. The cord is adjustable in length.

The necklace sits comfortably at the collarbone and can be adjusted to different lengths, making it easy to layer with other pieces or wear alone. The pendant is roughly the size of a large coin, giving a sense of scale without being overly heavy.
This piece suits casual daytime outfits, earthy or bohemian styles, cultural or spiritual gatherings, and quiet evenings where a handcrafted accent feels fitting.
To keep the jade and cord in good condition, wipe the pendant gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils or dust. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, harsh chemicals, or direct sunlight, as these can affect the natural stone and thread. Store the necklace flat or hung loosely in a dry place, away from sharp objects that might snag the braided fibers.
This is a handmade piece, so small variations in the stone’s color, carving details, and bead arrangement are natural and add to its individual character.

A closer look
This necklace features a handcrafted design centered around a circular pendant made from natural Xiuyan jade. The pendant is carved from bangle core material, resulting in a disc shape with a diameter of approximately 5 centimeters and a thickness of about 7 millimeters. The jade exhibits a deep, dark green hue with subtle variations in shade, appearing almost black in shadowed areas and revealing a mossy green tone under direct light. The surface has a smooth, semi-glossy finish typical of polished stone, with a waxy luster. The carving is intricate and double-sided, depicting a stylized "Shou" (longevity) character surrounded by symmetrical, swirling cloud or dragon motifs in a relief style. The design includes openwork elements where the stone is pierced through, creating negative space within the circular form. The edges of the pendant are scalloped or lobed, following the contours of the carved patterns.
The necklace cord is constructed using a Tibetan-style braiding technique, employing multiple strands of thread in varying shades of green and brown. The primary braided sections are thick and textured, showing a tight, woven pattern with a mix of dark olive, forest green, and brown threads. The cord is adjustable in length. Interspersed along the braided cord are several beads of different materials and colors. These include translucent green beads, likely agate or glass, with a smooth, polished surface and a slightly flattened spherical shape. There are also opaque, brownish-orange beads with a marbled or banded appearance, resembling agate or carnelian, which have a glossy finish. Additionally, there are pale, milky-white or light green beads with a frosted or matte texture, possibly jade or glass. Small, yellowish-orange beads are also present near the pendant attachment point. The beads are secured within the braided structure, often flanked by knotted sections of thread.
The pendant is attached to the cord via a small, translucent, pale bead and a dark knot. Below the main braided section and above the pendant, there are loose, frayed tassels of thread in shades of green and brown, adding a textured, organic element to the design. These tassels hang freely and have a fibrous, slightly uneven appearance. A small, colorful accent knot, possibly incorporating red and blue threads, is visible near the center of the braided section above the pendant. The overall aesthetic is rustic and artisanal, combining natural materials with hand-woven textile elements. The necklace is displayed on a light-colored, textured mannequin bust, which provides a neutral background that highlights the colors and textures of the jewelry. The lighting in the images creates soft shadows and highlights on the jade and beads, emphasizing their three-dimensional forms and surface qualities.
