c1910s-1920s Carved Green Jade 14k Yellow Gold Bracelet Flowers and Birds Design
Presented is a lovely vintage 14 karat yellow gold and jade bracelet. This piece
dates to around the 1910s-1920s and is likely of Chinese origin. The bracelet
consists of five beautifully hand carved jade disks, three carved with intricate
floral decorations and two with birds, in a nice medium green with lighter
mottling. The jade carvings are prong set in gold frames, which are each
connected with oval filigree openwork links in between. The attachment point
between the chain and the jade settings is higher up the side instead of at the
midpoint, but we aren't sure if this is a design choice or if this was once a
longer necklace that was converted for wear as a bracelet. The bracelet has a
springring style clasp with attached safety chain for additional security.
