Jasmine branch with gold stem, nephrite leaves, and three open flowers carved from frosted rock crystal. The flowers feature gold stamens and a pistil topped with small diamond. The branch also includes two rock crystal buds. The baluster-shaped vase is crafted from transparent rock crystal, creating an optical illusion of being filled with water. A flattened sphere insert made of dolomite is positioned between the body and the base of the vase.
