The main strand consists of eighteen finely polished jadeite beads, each carefully matched in size and perfectly rounded in form. The jadeite displays an intense and even imperial green tone with exceptional saturation, clarity, and a smooth icy luster. Under light, the beads reveal a luminous translucency and refined inner glow, demonstrating the superior quality of the material and craftsmanship. Four pink carved decorative beads are arranged throughout the strand, each featuring raised longevity motifs, creating a graceful contrast with the vivid green jadeite. A matching jadeite guru bead connects to the finely knotted silk tassel, which suspends a blood amber ruyi longevity lock pendant carved with a round longevity design. Two teardrop-shaped blood amber pendants hang below, accented with small gold beads, creating a rich and sophisticated color composition.
