Details: Materials: Natural carved jadeite jade, sterling silver Estimated period: 1930s–1940s Length: 7.5 inches Weight: 12.8 grams (total bracelet weight) Condition: Very good vintage condition with light patina consistent with age. It could use a light cleaning as there is dust and debris present. Closure: Spring ring clasp, fully functional The bracelet features five individually hand-carved green jade plaques, prong-set in sterling silver mounts and linked by engraved connectors with classic Art Deco–style detailing. The carved motifs are floral and foliate in nature, consistent with traditional Chinese symbolism commonly seen in jade jewelry of the period. When viewed under backlighting, the jade shows natural translucency, with light transmitting through the stone rather than reflecting off the surface. This translucency, along with visible internal grain and subtle color zoning, is consistent with natural jadeite rather than dyed quartz or glass, which typically display flat, uniform color. The even diffusion of light also suggests no obvious resin filling or polymer treatment. The jade plaques are through-carved and pierced, with light clearly passing through the carved openings. This type of hand-pierced work is characteristic of earlier Chinese Export craftsmanship, rather than molded or machine-made production. The silver connectors display engine-turned and rope-twist patterns typical of Chinese Export and Art Deco–era silverwork from the 1930s–1940s. The bracelet is fitted with a sturdy spring ring clasp consistent with mid-20th-century construction. While the piece is unmarked, it has been professionally tested and confirmed as sterling silver, and the absence of a mark is not uncommon for export jewelry from this period. The silver shows light patina and wear consistent with age. Based on the carved jade motifs, silverwork style, and clasp type, this bracelet is best described as a vintage Chinese Export carved jade and sterling silver bracelet, dating to approximately the 1930s–1950s. The jade has been referred to as “old mine jade,” a term commonly used for earlier jadeite material sourced prior to extensive modern mining.
