Jadeite is the rarer of the two jades — harder, more translucent, with a depth of color that nephrite doesn't quite reach.
What makes it special:
- Wear the hoop alone, or attach the jade pendant when you want more — one earring, two registers
- Jadeite pendant is convertible, so it's flexible for different occasions
- Italian gold vermeil hoop pairs Eastern stone with Italian craft
Details:
- Hoop: Italian gold vermeil (thick gold coated on sterling silver)
- Stone: Jadeite pendant, convertible
- Style: Wear as hoop alone or with jade pendant attached

Inspiration:
Where nephrite glows softly from within, jadeite has a clarity that catches light more directly, almost like it's lit from a different source. In China, the finest jadeite has been called imperial jade for centuries, and once you've seen a good piece of it you understand why.
This earring pairs Italian gold vermeil hoops (thick gold coated on sterling silver) with a convertible jadeite pendant — wear the hoop alone for something clean and architectural, attach the jade when you want to bring the ancient material into the look. Two registers, one earring, depending entirely on the day.
Eastern stone, Italian craft. The combination that FindingYoYo keeps coming back to.
