Carved Nephrite White Jade Toad Pendant

This pendant is hand-carved from natural white  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) believed to attract prosperity and abundance.

The stone is a pure, luminous white with a soft, milky translucency — a quality prized in nephrite jade for its resemblance to mutton-fat jade (羊脂玉). The toad's textured skin, bulging eyes, and rounded body are carved with lively, naturalistic detail, while the overall form retains a pleasing organic softness. The piece has a satisfying weight and smooth feel in the hand.

Strung on a black and red braided cord with a carnelian bead accent, the warm red of the carnelian creates a striking contrast against the pure white jade — a classic pairing in Chinese jewelry tradition.
