{"product_id":"jade-25","title":"Red-brown Nephrite Jade Toad Carving\/Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis charming pendant is hand-carved from natural nephrite jade in the form of a plump, squatting toad — one of the most beloved auspicious symbols in Chinese culture, associated with wealth, good luck, and the legendary \"Money Toad\" (金蟾) that is said to attract prosperity and abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone is a rich olive-brown with warm amber undertones, and features a striking natural white patch across the toad's back — a beautiful example of the carver's skill in working with the stone's natural coloration (俧色). The toad's textured skin is rendered with lively, tactile detail: every bump and fold is carved with care, giving the piece a wonderfully naturalistic quality. The underside is smooth and flat, and the piece has a satisfying, substantial weight in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrung on a black and gold braided cord with a carnelian bead accent, this piece works equally well as a pendant or a palm stone for daily carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural nephrite jade — olive-brown with natural white skin patch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plump squatting toad (金蟾) — fully three-dimensional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSymbolism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wealth, good luck, and prosperity (金蟾招财)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e 俧色 (qiǎo sè) — natural white skin incorporated into the design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCord:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and gold braided cord with carnelian bead accent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30.9 mm × 26.3 mm · 15.2 mm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.3 we g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-of-a-kind:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural color and skin pattern vary with each stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stone art \u0026 tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45748250050604,"sku":null,"price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/0007\/6844\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_99548e38-e2d7-425a-b2de-39ce88b991ba.jpg?v=1782923332","url":"https:\/\/stonearttea.com\/products\/jade-25","provider":"Stone art \u0026 tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
