ANTIQUE CHINESE EXPORT ORANGE ICE NEPHRITE JADE EARRINGS w ORIGINAL SILK BOX
Exotic jeweled antique earrings. High end Chinese export pieces and date to the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. Feature three stacked east west set glowing glassy orange cabochon gemstones. The gems test to be nephrite. Fine grade with a warm internal glow. Very fine gauged applied designs include twisted rope borders and Etruscan style balls. Clip on backs so most anyone should be able to wear these – pierced ears or not.

MARKS : SILVER stamped on the insides of the clip back hardware. WEIGHT : Earrings together weigh 8.7 grams on my scale – not including the box. CONDITION : Great vintage condition – no quirks or damage to mention concerning the earrings at all. The stones are all intact and completely free from chips, crazing, wear, cracks, nicks, etc. And clip backs in good working order. The box has some negligible wear, discoloration, etc one would expect of a box over 100 years old. Nothing glaring or out of the. View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear.
