Rendered in a white jade stone , the stone possesses a soft, waxy luster and a translucent quality that seems to glow from within when it catches the light.

Intricate Piercing: The pendant features rhythmic, openwork cutouts that define the antennae and lower wings, lending the piece a light, airy feel despite the solid nature of the stone.

Symmetrical Design: Fine, incised lines detail the wing spans and the segmented body of the insect, showcasing a balanced and harmonious aesthetic.

Organic Texture: The polished surface is incredibly smooth, highlighting the natural, milky clouds within the jade that give it a unique, "soft-focus" depth.
