Mountain & Sea Spirit

Mountain & Sea Spirit Jade Pendant

A world held within one pendant: mythical creatures soaring between mountain peaks and the boundless sea, carved in jade to symbolize ascension, power, and harmony.

Material

Carved from premium jadeite, this pendant showcases a breathtaking color palette: a warm golden-yellow peak at the top, blending seamlessly into cyan-green and yellow tones that evoke the soft glow of sunrise touching the sea. The unique transition of colors, along with the natural veining in the jade, brings the piece to life, like sunlight dancing across the waves or clouds drifting over mountains.

Craftsmanship

Hand-carved using a dual-sided openwork technique, the pendant presents a dynamic composition of mountain, sea, and a mythical creature, possibly a Kunpeng or deep-sea whale. The openwork allows light to pass through, animating the clouds and waves with each movement. The back of the pendant features an asymmetrical geometric window, inspired by ancient latticework, symbolizing the unknown — a window into another world, both incomplete and deeply evocative.

Theme & Symbolism

The Mountain & Sea Spirit Pendant embodies the ancient vision of creatures moving freely between the realms of the sky, ocean, and earth. The whale-like spirit at the center symbolizes both freedom and strength, while the swirling clouds and rolling waves represent the endless cycle of nature. This pendant is a talisman of ambition and possibility — the courage to rise, the calm to dive deep, and the grace to move between extremes.

Design Concept

Inspired by the traditional “mountain and sea” motif, this pendant captures the boundless spirit of nature, where mythic creatures transcend boundaries. It is a reminder of the infinite potential within us all — to rise to new heights, to explore the unknown, and to find balance between the extremes of life.

Uniqueness

No two jadeite stones share the same gradient of colors or the same internal cloud patterns. Combined with fully hand-executed, two-sided openwork carving, each pendant is a one-of-a-kind landscape, a personal myth carved in jade. The colors, veining, and carving ensure that every piece is unique, a true work of art.
