The fan has long been an emblem of grace in Chinese culture — carried by scholars and courtly figures alike, its spreading form a gesture of elegance and ease. Here, a gently curved fan of African jade is set within a gold frame of ruyi scroll wings, its surface moving between pale celadon and deeper green in the way of mountain water catching light. A deep green chalcedony cabochon crowns the pendant, its colour saturated and still against the more restless stone below. The name of this piece carries a quiet pun — 金生有杏, where 杏 (apricot) echoes 幸 (fortune) — the kind of layered meaning that Chinese jewellery has always held close.

Key Features

• Fan Form Pendant: The fan shape is one of the most refined motifs in classical Chinese decorative arts — associated with literary culture, feminine grace, and the spreading of good fortune. Each pendant is carved from a single piece of African jade, its natural variation in tone giving it a painterly, almost watercolour quality.
• Ruyi Scroll Setting: The gold frame flanking the jade features ruyi cloud scroll wings — an ancient motif meaning "as you wish," associated with the fulfilment of desires and the granting of good fortune.
• Nature's Hallmarks: African jade carries its own natural landscape within each stone — clouds of deeper green, streaks of white, the occasional ore mark. No two pendants are identical.
• Green Chalcedony Cabochon: A vivid green chalcedony sits at the top of the pendant, its deep, glassy colour chosen to complement and anchor the softer, more translucent jade below.
• Mountain Mist Collection: This necklace joins the Mountain Mist African Jade family at Tang Heritage.
