Vintage Jade Matinee Necklace, Vintage Chinese Jade Jewelry
22k vintage Chinese jade matinee necklace set with jadeite jade beads.
The jadeite jade beads are undoubtedly apple green, a delicious coveted colour, and interspersed with typically Chinese styled links.
These curved links are a special touch since they all rotate about the jade beads in different directions, giving the necklace a very freeform, organic structure.
Even better is how the necklace can be styled as a multi-tiered bracelet.
Almost like a French sautoir necklace, chic, but without the tassels.
Likely to date to 50 years or more.
