This impressive piece is a classic Ping An Kou (平安扣) donut pendant cut from natural Type A Jadeite. Weighing 62.78 grams with a substantial diameter of 52.1 mm and thickness of 11.2 mm, this is a remarkably hefty, master-grade disc featuring a desirable "Jelly" (Qi Jiao / 起胶) texture.

🔬 Gemological Profile & Aesthetics

• Certified Type A Jadeite: 100% natural, un-dyed, and polymer-free jadeite Jelly Texture (Qi Jiao / 起胶):

  • Refers to jadeite with an extremely fine interlocking crystal structure and high mineral density.

  • When light hits the polished surface, it bends and diffuses smoothly—giving the stone a visual effect reminiscent of soft, semi-translucent gelatin or jelly rather than harsh glassy reflections.

• Color & Substantial Proportion: A lush, soothing green hue evenly dispersed throughout a thick, generous slab. At 11.2mm thick and 62.78g, it carries significant visual presence and tactile weight.

🧧 Cultural Symbolism: Ping An Kou (平安扣)

• Peace & Protection: The circular shape with an inner hole mirrors the ancient Chinese bi disc. "Ping An" translates to peace and safety, while "Kou" means buckle or lock—symbolizing "locking in" peace, protection, and safe travels.

• Harmony of Heaven and Earth: The outer circle represents the vast universe (Heaven), while the inner circle represents inner stillness and peace (the self).

💎 Care & Maintenance

Weight Consideration: Given its substantial weight 62.78g, ensure it is strung on a durable hand-braided cord with a secure top knot, or mounted on a sturdy 18K gold/S925 bail if worn as a heavy neck piece.

Cleaning: Gently wipe with a soft microfiber cloth after wear. Store separately from harder gemstones (like diamonds or sapphires) to prevent micro-scratches on the smooth domed face.
