18K金镶镂空精雕翡翠“凤鸣长青”胸针/ 18K Gold & Hand-Carved Jadeite “Feng Ming Chang Qing” Brooch

This brooch unfolds like a classic flower-and-bird scroll from the Song or Yuan Dynasty. The centerpiece is a rare Imperial Green Jadeite, its color as profound as a hidden forest pool, with a texture so fine it exudes an understated, silky luster. The jade is carved into a majestic “Ruyi” plaque, utilizing high-difficulty hollow deep-relief techniques to depict vigorous pines and swirling auspicious clouds. It seamlessly merges the stability of stone with the fluidity of carving, as if freezing a thousand years of mountain and river spirits into a single piece.

The frame and structural details are sculpted in 3D 18K gold, utilizing top-tier imperial chasing and wire-drawing (matte) techniques. On one side, a majestic golden phoenix is meticulously carved, its feathers layered with precision as it prepares to take flight. The phoenix’s head is accented with a vivid ruby. Most ingeniously, where the phoenix’s tail meets the delicate filigree, it cradles a large, lustrous, and cool-toned perfectly round freshwater pearl. The warmth of the pearl, the brilliance of the gold, and the serenity of the deep green jade weave together an extraordinary vision of nobility.

The brooch centers on the theme of “The Phoenix Facing the Sun · Eternal Longevity.” The rectangular Ruyi plaque symbolizes “stable foundations” and “heart’s content,” while the soaring golden phoenix represents “noble status” and “auspicious guardianship.” With its dignified and elegant silhouette, this piece balances heavy historical weight with delicate jewelry ingenuity. It is more than a powerful visual center on a lapel; it is a grand tribute to a wearer of enduring success, virtue, and talent.
