Sweet as a summer peach, and a good deal more durable. A round bead of salmon-pink coral hangs from a curving 18k yellow gold stem, finished with a carved green leaf appearing to be jade, set in gold with a little heart-shaped opening at the back. It hangs from a bail on a fine, flat 18k yellow gold serpentine-style chain.
In Chinese tradition the peach is the fruit of longevity, guarded by the Queen Mother of the West and eaten by the immortals, a fine pedigree for a pendant.
