Purchased 2 of these (one for Mom!) as a big fan of the ocean and thought the design was simple, effective and lovely. Thought from the picture it the jade would be a bit more 3-dimensional as it curved, and thicker depth-wise, but in hand it is more flat than I think the picture shows. The pearls are also "button" pearls with a flat back. On the other hand a more flat pendant hangs against the chest better than bouncing around like a golf ball, and this one is perfectly balanced.
It is a nice size and weight, not too big or small, carved in back, about the width of a 50 cent piece. Color is lovely and translucent green, pearls are pea-sized without a visible blemish and colored as shown. This is heavy enough (it's stone!) that you will need more than a tiny "presentation" chain, the bail looks like it will handle a 2mm cord. Bail is adequate, not really thick gold, stamped 14K.
Since I string beads and make necklaces (and gold prices are so high) I will probably make a nice small pearl necklace for this to hang on - this can be worn short to the neck or long. Tagged made in Hong Kong (which produces some of the nicest stone beads and carvings). Don't know if this is a "super deal cost-wise" or not, but really is a nice design and seller sent free gift, shipped well in gift boxes in timely fashion. Would rate a 5 if gold bail was a bit thicker, but it's fine. A purchase I am very happy with and would buy again, definitely.Get more detail about Jade/Pearl 14k Gold Pendant.
