Fine Rare Estate ANTIQUE CHINESE Natural JADE 22K Brooch Circa 1920 Provenance

Description: Fine Rare Estate ANTIQUE CHINESE Natural JADE Brooch from the 1920sI am pleased to offer this very fine antique Chinese brooch from the Art Deco era. This brooch is made of high karat 20 or 22 karat gold. Fresh from a local estate, this gorgeous brooch was handmade for a lady of distinction in the 1920's or earlier. While traveling in China, a famous photographer, who traveled the world , purchased this brooch for his wife as a gift. It was in an antique shop at the time. The Oregon photographer was known for his incredible aerial photography and he also was a portrait photographer in Hollywood in the 1930's. This rare brooch features a spray of very fine quality AA type Jadeite in a beautiful floral nosegay design. The color is similar to imperial jade or a deep apple jade and is emerald green. This is a rare find and will surely thrill the most distinctive collector of Chinese jade. There are 18 perfectly matched teardrop shaped jade cabochon which make up the nosegay. The bouquet is held together with a beautiful gold bow. Feminine and sentimental. They are approximately 8 x 6 mm each around one carat each for a total weight of 18 carats. The pin back has a safety catch. It also has a hook for attaching a chain to be worn as a pendant or attaching a small watch. It is marked in a couple different places with Chinese characters for the maker or gold content. It was made in China for the Chinese market, not export. So it is very fine, antique and authentic natural untreated Chinese jade. A very rare find! Size is 2 3/4" by 1 1/2". There is nothing currently on the market like this brooch. It is an elegant and classic incomparable Jade brooch in excellent condition. A beautiful silk brocade bag is available as well.
