Snowfall & Pavilion

Snowfall & Pavilion Jade Pendant

A dual-sided jade pendant capturing the delicate beauty of winter snow and the structured elegance of traditional Chinese architecture — a harmonious balance between softness and order.

Material

Crafted from premium jadeite, this pendant features a unique blend of misty grey, softly veiled with a warm golden hue. The color transition evokes the early snow meeting the morning light — cool, gentle, and quietly luminous. The jade’s natural translucency adds depth and character to the piece, enhancing the elegance of its design.

Craftsmanship

The front of the pendant presents a delicately carved snowflake, its crisp geometry softened by the jade’s natural translucency. The back reveals a traditional Chinese window lattice, symbolizing shelter, home, and the beauty of structured calm. Both motifs are rendered with remarkable precision through double-sided openwork carving, allowing light to pass through the stone and animate the intricate designs. The artist’s careful anticipation of light ensures a graceful interaction between the two motifs.

Theme & Symbolism

The Snowfall & Pavilion Pendant embodies the meeting of two worlds: the fleeting purity of falling snow and the enduring stability of crafted architecture. It reminds us that both stillness and movement, cold and warmth, impermanence and order can coexist in quiet harmony. This pendant symbolizes the balance between nature’s softness and human-made structure, encapsulating the peaceful coexistence of opposites.

Design Concept

Inspired by the traditional Chinese aesthetic of balance and symmetry, this pendant juxtaposes the gentle drift of snow with the steady elegance of a lattice. The dual-sided design represents the fleeting beauty of nature and the enduring calm of architecture, creating a harmony that reflects the dual nature of life itself — movement and stillness, warmth and cold, impermanence and order.

Uniqueness

Each jadeite stone used in this pendant develops its own natural patterns, with shifting tones of grey and gold, ensuring that no two pieces are ever identical. Paired with the meticulous hand-carved double-sided openwork, each pendant becomes a unique interpretation of winter light and architectural grace, making it a one-of-a-kind piece.
