This beautifully sculptural piece features a bold triangular gold plaque set with four individually hand-carved natural jade elements—three organic foliate forms and a central round cabochon—arranged in a balanced modernist composition.
The pendant showcases a refined pierced-back construction, precisely opened behind each jade carving to allow light to pass through and illuminate the luminous green jade from within. This level of craftsmanship reflects the work of a highly skilled American studio goldsmith active during the height of the modernist jewelry movement, circa 1950s–1960s.
Finished with a substantial original sculpted gold bail, this piece offers both strong architectural presence and elegant wearability. A rare signed studio jewel that blends organic Asian-inspired motifs with bold Mid-Century modern form.
