Another jadeite necklace that my wife is delighted to add to her collection, on this occasion sourced from Guatemala.

I had mixed feelings when I first received this item of jewellery: firstly, the jadeite itself is undeniably beautiful. I love its transparency and colour, however I couldn't make up my mind about the image. When they are hand carved, the images have a certain individuality and naivety which I adore whereas these photorealistic images I find a bit creepy and also, since they are done using lasers, they have the potential to be mass produced and will lack the individuality brought to a carving by a master carving. I thought about sending this necklace back, but have decided to keep it because of the quality of the jadeite more than anything and I can appreciate the technical expertise gone into producing this piece. Whether I would want more would depend very much on the nature of any future images.
