Antique Chinese White Nephrite Pendant Necklace Circa 1920 Certified Untreated
About the Item
This is a rare and wholly original carved & pierced nephrite necklace from the 1920s. Still strung on its original silk and embellished with knots, rock crystal quartz, and natural blue agate. This flapper-era treasure is a creation of spectacular beauty. The cool blue agate beads and the watery rock crystal perfectly compliment the waxy sheen of the light green nephrite carving.
The nephrite jade has been carved and pierced to resemble a vase. The symmetrical design, typical of this era, includes a pair of birds poised on branches within the vase. The jade measures 53.35mm x 23.71mm x 2.13mm. It retains its original waxy luster.
Because the silk is original, care should be taken when wearing this delicate necklace. One crystal bead was cracked and repaired. The 42"cord is still in remarkably good condition, with no signs of repair or fraying. My only concern is where the silk meets the jade carving: if the pendant swings, it will in time cut through the silk -but it hasn't done so yet. Something to keep an eye on.
Gorgeous, rare, and very special, this necklace ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs identifying the natural stones and stating that the nephrite jade is untreated.
