This exquisite hand-carved pendant features two vividly lifelike koi fish circling a blooming lotus flower, with a lotus leaf and a coin motif on the reverse — symbolizing abundance, harmony, and prosperity. 

This pendant boasts a refined, warm white with vibrant, clean, and richly sugar tones. The subtle sugar flake structure is an inherent natural trait of authentic jade from this region and is only visible under strong lighting at close range. The jade is exceptionally dense, oily, and smooth to the touch, with no cracks or visible impurities.

Qiemo jade is widely regarded as one of the mountain jades most similar in quality and appearance to seed (river pebble) jade. This pendant is not only a visually striking accessory but also a collector-worthy piece with long-term value.

Carving Meaning:

In traditional Chinese culture, koi fish (jinli) symbolize good fortune, prosperity, perseverance, and success. Inspired by the legendary tale of "the carp leaping over the dragon gate," koi are seen as a metaphor for striving toward greatness and achieving one's goals.

The lotus flower, on the other hand, represents purity, elegance, and moral integrity, as it rises unstained from muddy waters. In Chinese wordplay, "lotus" (莲 lián) is a homophone for "continuous," and when paired with "fish" (yú, a homophone for "abundance"), the combination conveys the auspicious blessing of “abundance year after year” (lián nián yǒu yú).

Together, koi and lotus motifs carved in fine nephrite jade express harmony, success, wealth, and purity — making them not only beautiful artistic subjects but also powerful symbols of good wishes and cultural heritage.

Rarity & Value
Qiemo jade is among the rarest and most valued nephrite jades, as its mines have been 
largely depleted in recent years. The extraction process, often involving explosives, 
leads to significant internal fractures, making high-quality raw material even scarcer. 
Additionally, only a small fraction of mountain jade meets the standards for fine 
craftsmanship, as most of the material lacks the desired density and texture.

For collectors and connoisseurs, Qiemo jade represents the pinnacle of nephrite 
quality. Once you've experienced its unparalleled oiliness and richness, no other 
jade compares.

Warm white is an ambiguous description; it's a color that hovers between white, 
gray, and blue-green, or even yellowish

★ Please Note 

★Natural Characteristics & Minor Imperfections:
Natural nephrite jade inevitably exhibits natural imperfections, such as inclusions, 
cottons, and waterlines. High-quality jade has fewer flaws, but no piece is absolutely 
perfect. Minor imperfections may arise from the raw stone itself or from the processes 
of mining, cutting, and carving. These natural marks contribute to the jade’s 
authenticity and uniqueness.

★Size & Weight:

Camera settings and screen displays differ from the human eye. Variations in color 
may occur depending on background and lighting.

★About Handmade Pieces:
As a handcrafted piece, this pendant holds artistic value. It is one of a kind, with no 
identical counterpart in the world. Even the artisan who carved this pendant can only create something similar, not an exact replica. This makes the piece even more special, as each pendant carries its own uniqueness, showcasing the true artistry behind it. This piece is a unique piece that stands out due to its craftsmanship.
