A LARGE JADEITE JADE, RUBY AND EMERALD PENDANT Composed of a large engraved colourless jadeite jade with inscriptions, framed by two textured gold dragons with cabochon emeralds for eyes and two cabochon ruby accents, mounted in 18K gold, French assay marks, maker's mark 'BJ', length 7cm Four-word phrases are popular within Chinese culture and have been used for the last three thousand years. With each word carrying just one syllable, there is a delight in conjuring enchanting imagery and complex thoughts in four simple sounds. Inscribed on this pendant are the words 'quang jin pei yu', which literally means 'the clanking of gold and the wearing of jade'. Reading further into this, the phrase denotes wealth and beauty, wishing these attributes on the wearer. This collection of words occurs frequently in the poetry of the Tang and Sung dynasties and is easily recognised by those with an understanding of the language.

Provenance: from the Fryers Collection of Chinese Art. See Fine Chinese Paintings & Works of Art, 10th November 2020, lots 14-17 for more pieces from this collection. Dr Gordon Fryers (1922-2008) and Dr Rosemary Fryers (1922-1994) moved to Singapore in 1946 after they had both qualified as doctors, and their time there introduced them to Chinese art and culture. However, the Fryers did not start collecting seriously until the 1960s when Gordon's experiences on his many international business trips rightly led him to believe that China would one day play a crucial role in the world economy and that its art would subsequently become highly desirable. With this remarkable foresight in seeing Chinese art as an investment opportunity, Gordon and Rosemary gradually built up their collection over a fifteen-year period in the 1960s and 70s, buying from leading auction houses and dealers. Albeit a clever financial move, Gordon and Rosemary's collecting was by no means without passion, and they both developed a keen interest in the subject. Whilst Rosemary was drawn to ceramics and various works of art, Gordon favoured jades and marvelled at the outstanding craftsmanship behind these pieces.
