Antique ProngSetWhiteJade GoldMilgrainFiligree ConvertibleBrooch RingTop Pendant
About the Item
Known as "mutton fat", a natural milky white tremolite nephrite jade 10mm-long hand-carved oval cabochon is prong set on this antique Edwardian-period convertible brooch, which is designed in a delicate Art-Nouveau-style like one by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Shown in our closeup in natural indoor light, the stone has brighter white vein-like fibers on the surface and points of desirable colorful impurities.
Also shown in warm-tone studio lights, the stone is surrounded by intricate milgrain applique on its white-gold thread-like filigree top. The open wirework is anchored to an unsigned open-back frame that includes a miniature c-clasp and hinge-brackets for a hand-set pin.
As its pin does not extend beyond its frame, the versatile small brooch can be used as a one-inch-long pendant or ring-band top. It can also be fastened onto an evening-glove finger--without necessitating a larger-size ring for that infrequent purpose.
Given the antique age of the brooch, its stone likely came from Xinjiang, China, the origin of Heitan River jade.
