Popular Post cuniagau Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 Jun 2 beach hunt with the Manticore and M15 coil. Does anyone know anything about carved Jade? I dug this pendant yesterday. It is hallmarked 14K 585, so I think it has a foreign origin. Google Lens was not much help but did at least show Japanese, Chinese, Burmese and a few other Asian countries as possible origins. What is the carving? It appears to be the same on both sides. I really can't tell if it is floral, animal, mythical, or just a random freestyle carving. I am hoping someone here is knowledgeable in Jade and particularly carved jade and can school me on what the piece is or isn't. Another thing is that the bale is really a clasp and that is probably how it was lost off of the chain. Thanks, Joe 22 1 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25901-14k-gold-and-carved-jade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull diver Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I've seen months ago something on YouTube to check if it was real jade with a torchlight but nothing to say about the symbolism meaning. Aniway it seems to be a tailored piece with lot of care to the stone mount. In their culture it usually has some sort of talisman power against.... something🫢 1 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25901-14k-gold-and-carved-jade/#findComment-273200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Can't help on the ID but would like to say it is a fine-looking piece and definitely looks custom made for that particular carving. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25901-14k-gold-and-carved-jade/#findComment-273242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC-AZ Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 To test jade or jadeite, hold it in the palm of your hand for about 10 seconds or so, then place in your fingertips. It will feel cold to the touch. Test it again in a couple of minutes later. It should respond again the same. If it's plastic, it will be warm to the touch. But I guess you knew that? Do you want to sell it? 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25901-14k-gold-and-carved-jade/#findComment-273305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-AZ Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Another thing is your piece is marked "14K 585". 585 stands for 58.5% gold. For example: 18K has 75% gold, 10K has 41.6%, etc., etc. Hope this helps.
