Here is a fantastic find on French Ebay.
Very poor description and pics... (but good enough for my eye!) opening at 50€... but another hunter tried to grasp it... happily my snipe bid was superior and still a big bargain!
:-D
Clasp is 3.5cm or 1.7/16" long, 1.8cm or 11/16" wide. Unmarked pale yellow gold, carved jadeite, black enamel and diamonds...
Shortest row is 39cm or 15.4/16" long.
124 jadeite beads of delightful green quality, graduating between 5mm (1/4") and 11mm (7/16").
109 grams of pure joy for me at 2.31€ per gram!!!
A touch of kyratisation on the worn black enamel.
What a BEAUTY!!! You have got a very good eye!!!
Beauty, and what a nice color!
Martika, you're so quick! Thank you very much for your compliment, as the pic of the clasp showed quality, I was rather confident it was fine jadeite and not junk. The only bet was on the real color of it, as it is so difficult to capture ;-)
Marga! So nice to see you! Thank you, I must agree about the color! Plus, it is my fav for jadeite.
Thanks both of you and Melanie too for your loves :-))
Great buy!! It's beautiful.
Wow, gorgeous, absolutely love it!
I picked up it's poorer (glass) cousin in a charity shop the other day, I'm sure it was inspired by a beauty like this.
Bonnie, thanks! I'm not able to get bargains at 0.50 as you, so very lucky :-)
Pebble, thank you so much, jade color peking glass is good too, and look glorious on :-) please, post it!
Lot of thanks to you, Junkman, Caperkid, Jlmam, Freiheit, Celiene and Bluboi for lovings!
I've posted my glass version here - photos aren't great but I'll try to get some better ones in daylight!
