This splendid pendant, known as a haldili, is carved from translucent ‘mutton fat’ nephrite jade, originating from northern India. Reflecting the refined tastes of the Mughal era, it features an elegant floral spray inlaid with gold and adorned with emeralds and rubies in delicate kundan settings. The central motif—spring flowers blooming within a vase—evokes themes of renewal and beauty. A discreet suspension loop crowns the piece, allowing it to hang gracefully. Beyond its beauty, the pendant was believed to offer talismanic protection and good fortune.
