To celebrate upcoming Chinese New Year, Spanish fashion company LOEWE commissioned three master jade carvers, Cheng Lei, Qiu Qijing, and Yin Xiaojin, to create three limited-edition pendants.
Each pendant is meticulously hand-carved and comes with an 18K gold chain. Yin's jade carving showcases natural beauty with a pendant in the shape of a Chinese cabbage, adorned with a cricket. Chinese cabbage has a long history of cultivation and symbolizes prosperity and abundance. Qiu's pendant, in a smoky purple color, is in the shape of an eggplant and resembles a crown of success and happiness. Cheng's white jade pendant depicts a pea pod with a snail, carved from an almost flawless jade stone, symbolizing the traditional meanings of blessings, wealth, and longevity.
