Jadeite Squirrel Pendant With Natural Diamonds
A Type A light green jadeite squirrel carved pendant mounted in 18K white gold with natural diamond accents.
Product Overview
Carved jadeite arrives as a finished sculpture, so the mount has to be drawn around a shape nobody chose. There is no standard seat for a squirrel. The diamond work here is deliberately confined to the bail and the cap so the carving stays the subject, and the fittings grip at points the carver left solid rather than at the tail, which is where these pieces break.
Key Benefits
- Type A jadeite, the untreated grade
- Light green carved squirrel with natural diamond accents
- 18K white gold mount drawn around the individual carving
- Fittings placed at solid points, not at thin carved extremities

How It Compares With The Alternatives
A technical comparison against other ways of solving the same problem. Nothing here is a performance claim against a named competitor product.
| Against a catalogue equivalent | This page publishes the metal, the karat, the stone grade and the dimensions the factory states, and says plainly where it states none. Catalogue product usually publishes adjectives. |
| Against buying the piece ready made elsewhere | Design, casting, setting, drilling and polishing all happen in the same building, which is what keeps the decisions with the person holding the stone rather than with a purchase order. |
| Against another family in this range | See the Pendants page for what this family does that the others do not, and the related products below for the nearest alternatives. |
