The design is composed of three jade carvings arranged around a central jade cabochon, all mounted on a softly textured gold plaque.
The jade pieces show the character of hand carving, with natural variations in tone and subtle inclusions that give the pendant warmth and individuality. The triangular layout and textured gold background reflect the creative spirit of 1960s–1970s jewelry design, when jewelers often combined traditional materials with modern compositions.
The pendant is stamped 585 for 14K gold and signed “Larry,” likely the mark of a small studio jeweler working in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. During this period it was common for jewelers to mount carved jade elements into contemporary gold settings, creating distinctive pieces like this one.
With its sculptural form and rich jade color, this pendant has a strong presence while remaining elegant and easy to wear.
