Certified Natural Grade A Icy Floating Green Jadeite Nine Dragon Round Pendant – Double-Sided 55.3 mm Carved Jade Medallion

A substantial round Nine Dragon medallion carved from natural Grade A jadeite, combining icy translucency, floating green colour and dense double-sided relief work. At approximately 55.3 mm across and 12 mm thick, this piece has the mass and sculptural depth of a miniature jade carving rather than a lightweight fashion pendant. A jade identification certificate is included.

Material: Natural Grade A Jadeite

Jadeite is a dense crystalline jade mineral valued for toughness, polish and naturally varied colour. This piece combines an icy pale body with drifting green areas that move through the stone rather than sitting on the surface. The thicker 12 mm profile creates stronger colour depth through the centre while polished high points catch light across the carving.

Double-Sided Nine Dragon Carving

The design is carved on both faces, using layered relief to define dragon heads, curling bodies, scale texture, cloud scrolls and circular movement around the medallion. The carver works with multiple depths rather than relying only on shallow engraved lines, which gives the dragons a more sculptural presence and creates changing shadows as the pendant turns.

Large 55.3 mm Round Format

The nearly 56 mm diameter gives the composition room to breathe and makes the carving legible at normal viewing distance. The 12 mm thickness adds a satisfying hand-feel and allows the relief to remain pronounced without making the edges fragile.

Nine Dragons in Chinese Decorative Art

The dragon is one of the most important motifs in Chinese visual culture, associated historically with authority, vitality and auspicious power. The number nine has long carried elevated and imperial associations. Together, the Nine Dragon motif creates a dense, ceremonial composition. We present these meanings as cultural context rather than as a guarantee of supernatural effects.

Why This Piece Feels Premium

The value lies in the combination of natural jadeite, icy floating-green material, double-sided carving, substantial thickness, fine polishing and certificate-backed identification. Comparable certified dragon medallions internationally often sit well above ordinary souvenir-jade pricing, so this piece is positioned as a strong-value boutique collectible.

How to Wear & Display It

Wear it over black, charcoal, navy, cream or linen so the green carving stays visually dominant. The round medallion works especially well with New Chinese style dressing, Mandarin-collar shirts and simple monochrome outfits. When not worn, it can also be displayed on a small wood stand beside tea ware, incense or scholar’s objects.

Gift Appeal

A distinctive choice for birthdays, Year of the Dragon celebrations, anniversaries, business milestones, retirement gifts and collectors of Chinese jade carving.

Certificate & Care

Each pendant includes a jade identification certificate. Avoid hard impact, harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning. Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth and store separately from harder gemstones and metal jewellery.
