A craftsman handmade a jump ring for a pendant using 18k gold wire.
This item is made from a single piece purchased by our store's owner at the Guangzhou Trade Fair in China approximately 65 years ago. It features the characteristic green of jadeite, and the carving has a unique atmosphere. The motif is a fruit tree, which is an auspicious symbol (the more it bears fruit, the heavier it becomes).
Total weight: approx. 0.74gMaximum width of jadeite portion: approx. 1.7 x 0.7 cmPlease handle the 18k gold jump ring with care as it is delicate. It is made from wire for materials and therefore has no hallmark.
Carvings like this are seen in the movie "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing," where Jennifer Jones uses one as a charm on a gold necklace. Why not bring vintage to life in the modern day?
According to verbal appraisal by Noble Laboratory Co., Ltd.: Natural Jadeite, Infrared spectroscopy performed, no resin impregnation detected.
A certificate can be issued for an additional fee.
