Exquisite jade of imperial quality is transformed into the cicada's body, its wings are made wafer-thin, a luxuriant green jade (15.5x17.10mm) is placed in its embrace, and a cabochon lavender jade (13.5x14.70mm) is set to surprise. Jade beads are embedded using the tenon-and-mortise technique. The overwhelming green of the cicada is the result of Wallace Chan's jade-thinning-and-luminosity-enhancing invention patent in 2002.
