TRIO Jade and 18k Gold Scroll Link Necklace
Revered in China and Mesoamerica, jade was a symbol or immortality, status and virtue. Although we call this material “jade”, it’s mineral name is technically “jadeite”. Imperial jadeite is one of the most valuable gemstones in the world with fine examples selling for millions of dollars.
This dramatic and versatile necklace is composed of jade discs connected by beautifully-crafted scroll shaped links in 18k gold. Each disc is set in an 18k yellow gold surround and connects to the next disc via gold links passing through its center.
TRIO is a well-respected Hong Kong based company specializing making high end jadeite and pearl jewelry. The Los Angeles Times says,” top quality jade in spectacular designs is sold at the TRIO Pearl and Company on the balcony of the Peninsular Hotel”.
