The term 'Bingju' (Ice Orange or Icy Tangerine) refers to a specific translucent orange-red variety that resembles frozen citrus, characterized by its glowing, semi-transparent quality. This type of Nanhong has been treasured in Chinese culture for centuries, with historical specimens dating back to the Qing Dynasty and earlier. The vintage screw clasp design suggests this necklace was likely assembled in the mid-20th century. The warm, glowing orange tones of Bingju Nanhong paired with cool jade green make this an exceptional example of Chinese lapidary artistry. See less
