Gump's Jade Necklace, circa 1960s
By Gump's San Francisco
Located in Southbury, CT
The luminous untreated jadeite jade beads that compose this 20" necklace are so faintly light green, that they appear white. Well, but not white; not really, because they are far too fascinating to be merely white like a piece of paper or a sheet. It is as if an apparition has assumed bead form and settled around the neck. These gorgeous, succulent beads seem filled with a reserve of light they have gathered during the day in order to release back into the night like a whisper. If you like pearls but wish for something denser, more grounded in the material world, these may be for you. They do look like pearls from a distance, a pristine strand of vintage cultured Akoya pearls. But then, up close, what are they? White sapphires? What could they be? Most people, of course, have no idea jade is anything other than green. The individual beads measure approximately 8.5mm for a clean, unified presentation around the neck. I am a second-generation collector of jade and have loved Gump's jade jewelry all my life. Gump's was an iconic San Francisco department store that was founded in the 19th century and awed the world with their remarkable and unique pieces until 2005 when they were sold. Gump's never used any dyed or treated jade in any of their jewelry, so they remain one of very few brands that you never need to have tested; vintage Gump...

Rare Gump's Jade Necklace, Impossibly Translucent Nephrite 16 ¾"
By Gump's San Francisco
Located in Southbury, CT
This is rare Gump's nephrite jade necklace from the Midcentury (circa 1960s) in an exceptionally translucent light chartreuse green. Indeed, the hand-carved and polished beads are so highly translucent they look to be made of glass. In fact, "Glassy" jade is a term usually reserved to describe only the finest jadeite jade -nephrite jade's rarer and more expensive cousin- and the word is only rarely applicable to the nephrite variety of jade, due to its different mineral structure. The 16 ¾" necklace is composed of 40 9.30mm untreated nephrite beads that are most likely from Siberia. These beads are a fine, evenly-toned chartreuse green, and they display the high translucency of the only finest jadeite. Most Gump's jade necklaces were available in 18" and 24" lengths. This 16" necklace is far less common, and the large size of the beads in combination with the brief length speaks to the scarcity of the beads themselves, their genuine preciousness. The 14K yellow gold clasp is marked "Hong Kong" and "Gump's." All original Gump's jade jewelry...

A Gump's jade necklace from the 1960s, still on its original string. Such a find! The multi-colored jadeite beads average 9mm and there are 59 of them all together, so the necklace measures 23".

Gump's Jade Necklace Midcentury
By Gump's San Francisco
Located in Southbury, CT
This gorgeous, ethereal Midcentury jadeite jade necklace was created by the iconic San Francisco retailer, Gump's, circa 1970. The luminous, translucent fog-toned jade beads measure approximately 8.83mm and are on their original silk string. The necklace is finished with the classic Gump's 14k yellow gold clasp, that features both the metal fitness mark and the Gump's logo. Gump's never used treated jade in any of their jewelry; all authentic Gump's jewelry is natural and untreated "A" jade. These extraordinary beads are in soothing tones of soft, soft violet and the palest yellow. The palate here may be neutral but the impact certainly is not. The beads are so light-filled they seem to float, hovering over the fabric upon which they are draped. Vintage Gump...

Gumps 1950 Vintage Nephrite Green Jade Bangle Bracelet Mounted 14Kt Yellow Gold
By Gump's San Francisco
Located in Miami, FL
Green nephrite jade bracelet retailed by Gump's. Beautiful vintage piece made after the post war, circa 1950 by the iconic San Francisco store known as Gump's. This bangle bracelet was crafted in solid yellow gold of 14 karats with high polished finish and mounted with a pair of carvings of natural non dyed green nephrite jade. It is suited with an invisible hinge and a push boxed lock with a pair of figures 8 for extra safety. Has a total weight of 42.7 Grams and the inside diameter is 177.8 mm or 7 Inches (17.95 Cm). The exterior diameter is 76.2 mm and the width measure is 10 mm. Stamped with the maker's mark, the hallmark for the assay of the gold and signed, "GUMPS 14KT .585". Gump's is an iconic luxury American home furnishings and home décor retailer. The S & G Gump was founded in 1861 in San Francisco, California as a mirror and frame shop by Solomon Gump and his brother, Gustav. It later sold moldings, gilded cornices, and European artwork to those recently made wealthy from the California Gold Rush. The business flourished; the store sold products ranging from jewelry made from jade, precious gemstones, and cultured freshwater pearls to products from luxury designers such as Hermès and Buccellati. Customers included Franklin D. Roosevelt, who bought model ships and smoking jackets. Note: The jade was once considered more precious than gold, jade has been more highly prized in Asia than any other gemstone. Treasured for thousands of years, it represents harmony, balance and protection, and is thought to bring good luck to the wearer. Though it's always difficult to obtain genuine vintage Gump...

Jade Necklace by Gump's in Rare Glassy Blue
By Gump's San Francisco
Located in Southbury, CT
This is a breathtakingly beautiful and rare natural and untreated light blue jadeite jade necklace by the iconic San Francisco retailer, Gump's. This astonishing 23" necklace is composed of 63 approximately 8.30mm diameter beads The beads are exceptionally uniform in both color and texture: this is glassy jade of high-translucency. The necklace is still on its original pale blue silk string which is in excellent condition. The classic 14k yellow gold Gump's clasp is hallmarked for metal purity and stamped with the Gump's name. I believe this necklace dates to the mid-1990s. The original Gump's opened in 1861 and closed in 2018. The eclectic, high-end retailer became known worldwide for the quality and originality of their exquisite natural jade jewelry. Gump's sold only grade "A" untreated jadeite jade and nephrite jade and this earned them a loyal following. My grandmother was a Gump's customer and I have collected their jade for years. Blue jade is exceedingly rare. Jade of any color with this degree of translucency is likewise exceedingly rare. Combine these two jade features into one jade necklace from the most famous name in jade —Gump...

Gump's Jade Necklace Early Multi-Color Collector's Piece
By Gump's San Francisco
Located in Southbury, CT
This 24" necklace was created between 1950 and 1965 by the iconic San Francisco emporium, Gump's; a store that was famous around the world for its high-quality natural and untreated jade jewelry. The beads are uniform in size and approximately 9 mm in diameter, but each is slightly unique because these natural and untreated Burmese jadeite beads were carved and polished entirely by hand. There are 59 beads and two 25 mm lengths of heavy rose gold chain at the ends, which meet with an early version of what became a slightly thicker but otherwise identical and instantly recognizable Gump's clasp featuring the Chinese Shòu symbol for longevity. There is a safety catch on the clasp, which is tight to begin with. As certified professional gemologist, a second-generation jade collector and the grandson of any avid Gump's jewelry collector and connoisseur, I can say with some authority: this is the finest Gump's jadeite necklace I have ever encountered. It is also perhaps the most unique. For this is no mere "multicolor...
