{"product_id":"medium-happy-buddha-diamond-pendant","title":"Medium Happy Buddha Diamond Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrafted to order in solid 10K, 14K, 18K or high-karat 22K gold, with your choice of lab-grown or natural diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same gourd, built bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMedium Happy Buddha Diamond Pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e is cut to a \u003cstrong\u003ecalabash outline\u003c\/strong\u003e — a small round lobe above a wider one — and the outline is the figure. The head fills the upper lobe, the belly fills the lower one, and Budai sits in a shallow recessed field inside a polished frame, arms raised, eyes creased shut, laughing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe relief is sandblasted and the frame is polished.\u003c\/strong\u003e The whole figure is finished to a fine frosted matte: the open laugh, the long earlobes, the bare chest, the heavy belly and the loose robe over the arms all read through texture. Everything around him stays bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA single row of round diamonds follows the outline all the way round\u003c\/strong\u003e, riding the curve of the head, pinching in at the waist and opening out again around the belly. \u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 42 stones\u003c\/strong\u003e in that row, each bead-set between a polished inner rim and a polished outer edge. These are the larger stones on the piece and they carry most of the carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe back is openwork, and so is the side wall.\u003c\/strong\u003e A central medallion carries the \u003cstrong\u003e福 (fú)\u003c\/strong\u003e character — fortune — ringed by a band of pierced \u003cstrong\u003eChinese cash coins\u003c\/strong\u003e, square holes and all, with a second course of the same coin pattern round the outer border. The pattern does not stop at the edge: it carries on round the full depth of the rim, so the side of the pendant is a pierced coin band too. Turn it in the light and the openwork runs continuously from the back face onto the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe piece is hollow on the inside.\u003c\/strong\u003e Front and back are built as two shells with a cavity between them, which is what keeps a 35.7mm medallion at 19.3 grams in 14K instead of the much heavier solid it would otherwise be. Because the back and the rim are both cut through, you are not guessing at that — look through the coin pattern and you are looking into the body of the pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebail\u003c\/strong\u003e is a hinged two-row pavé post — twelve pairs on the front face, \u003cstrong\u003eroughly 24 stones\u003c\/strong\u003e — with a 7mm opening, wide enough for a heavier chain. The reverse of the bail is left plain and polished and carries the stamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBudai is the laughing monk of Chinese folk tradition, taken as a figure of contentment and plenty rather than of austerity. The coins and the fú character on the reverse are the same wish said twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You’ll Love It:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut to the Gourd\u003c\/strong\u003e – The outline of the pendant is the outline of the figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrosted Relief, Polished Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e – The expression carried by texture, not by shine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamonds All the Way Round\u003c\/strong\u003e – A single row of larger rounds following every curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpenwork Coin-and-Fú Back\u003c\/strong\u003e – Cash coins and the fortune character, cut clean through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePierced Coin Side Wall\u003c\/strong\u003e – The same coin pattern carried round the full depth of the rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHollow Build\u003c\/strong\u003e – Two shells with a cavity between, keeping an everyday weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-Row Pavé Bail\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hinged, with a wide 7mm opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChain not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Weight by Purity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
