Patang - Topaz/Nephrite Necklace

Spring green is the unmistakable signature of Basant in Lahore—spilling across rooftops, drifting through open skies, and marking the city’s return to light and movement. This nephrite jade necklace by Orah Jewels captures that moment, translating the season’s color and rhythm into a piece of wearable form.

The necklace features nephrite jade sourced from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, prized for its deep green tone, natural strength, and smooth, dense texture. Each stone is carefully shaped and placed along a warm gold-tone chain, allowing the richness of the jade to stand out while maintaining a sense of balance and flow. Subtle variations in the stones preserve their natural character, ensuring every piece carries its own identity.

At the center sits a distinctive pendant inspired by the many kite shapes of Basant, echoing the geometry seen in the sky during the festival. The openwork design keeps the form light and airy, while a topaz set at its heart adds a quiet point of brilliance—like sunlight catching a kite mid-flight. The pendant anchors the necklace visually, drawing the eye without overpowering the natural stones.

Orah Jewels is rooted in celebrating regional gemstones and thoughtful design, where inspiration comes from place, culture, and craft rather than excess. This necklace reflects that philosophy—modern in its lines, expressive in its symbolism, and timeless in its wearability.

Elegant yet grounded, the nephrite jade necklace is a tribute to Basant’s green, the movement of kites above Lahore, and the beauty of Pakistan’s natural stones—designed to be worn as a statement, yet felt as something deeply familiar.
