About the Item

This is a delightful pair of antique Chinese Jade Earrings in the form of Bats. The very rare Jade earrings are each hand carved in the form of a winged Bat. They are absolutely fabulous. In Chinese Mythology Bats are seen as benevolent because “fu,” the character for “bat,” is also the character for “good luck.” In addition, since bats dwell in caverns, which are also the passageway to the realm of the Immortals, they represent longevity, as well as fertility! The jade bat earrings date to the Art Deco to Art Nouveau period. The earrings have silver screw backs which can be easily converted if desired. The earrings have such delightful charm. I just love them. The earrings are 22mm wide and 17mm tall. The earrings have silver screw backs and can be easily converted to posts if desired. Together the earrings weigh 4.5 grams.
