The green sits at the centre with the other four gathered around it, and the gold between them is worked into fine open scrolls that read as a butterfly in flight - so the cluster stays light rather than sitting as a solid block. The pair weighs 2.705 grams in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jewelhub.co.uk\/collections\/14k-18k-fine-gold\"\u003e14k solid gold\u003c\/a\u003e. All five stones are natural, untreated jade - not dyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat last point is worth dwelling on, because five-colour jade is the single most commonly faked thing in the jade trade. Black, red, yellow and white are all colours that can be produced by dyeing pale, low-grade stone, and most multicolour jade sold anywhere is exactly that. Assembling the five naturally means sourcing five separate stones in five naturally occurring colours and matching them for size, dome and polish - which is why a genuine set is uncommon and a dyed one is everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #f2f8f6; color: #1f4a41; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #5a9e8c; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #6bab9a;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #5a9e8c; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #6bab9a;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003e14k (585) solid gold, hallmarked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eGemstones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e10 natural jade cabochons - 5 colours per earring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003eBlack, red, green, yellow, white - all natural, undyed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eStone Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eApprox. 5 x 3mm each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003e2.705g for the pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eGold hoop with a hanging scrolled butterfly cluster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1;\"\u003eHinged hoop with snap closure, for pierced ears\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #d5e8e1; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eColourful, celebratory, conversation-starting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #e6f2f2; border: 1px solid #8cb8ba; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #1d5054;\"\u003eTips of the Motif - The Five Blessings\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0 0;\"\u003eFive is not an arbitrary number here. The wu fu, the Five Blessings, are named in the Book of Documents more than two thousand years ago: long life, wealth, health, love of virtue, and a peaceful end. Five of anything - bats, colours, stones - is a shorthand for wishing someone all five at once, which is why five-colour jade became a gift for milestone birthdays and new homes rather than an everyday ornament.

Are the colours dyed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. All five colours are natural, undyed jade. This matters more on multicolour jade than on anything else, because dyeing pale stone to produce black, red, yellow and white is standard practice in the trade and most five-colour jewellery on the market is treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.

Does the cluster come off the hoop?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cluster hangs from the hoop on its own ring and swings freely as you move, which is what gives the colours their flicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. How do I clean a piece with this many small stones?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarm soapy water and a soft brush, working gently between the stones and the scrollwork where dust collects, then dry fully.
