Vintage Yellow Gold Lavender Jadeite Dragon Carving Pendant

This vintage lavender jadeite pendant features an intricately carved dragon set within a circular openwork design. The softly translucent jadeite displays gentle lavender hues with milky white undertones, creating a luminous, ethereal quality throughout the piece. The dragon is depicted in dynamic motion, its sinuous body coiled amid stylized swirling clouds. Finely incised crosshatching along the body adds texture and dimension, while the surrounding carved motifs enhance the sense of movement and depth. Open piercings within the design contribute to the pendant’s airy, sculptural presence. A simple gold bail complements the cool tones of the jadeite, allowing the carving to remain the focal point. Symbolizing strength, protection, and good fortune, this dragon pendant beautifully reflects traditional craftsmanship in a refined and wearable form.
