Subject:Old Chinese Gold and Jade Necklace
Posted By: TR Sat, Nov 24, 2018 IP: 173.239.230.17 Can anyone please assist with information about this Chinese Gold and Jade necklace, bought yesterday at a local garage sale for $10. It's in excellent condition with no loss at all to the jade, and just a few twisted wires to the gold links. The gold is unmarked which makes me think it's probably a vintage piece, and tests between 14k and 18k. Any assistance very gratefully received. |

Posted By: Super Mon, Dec 10, 2018 I like the color of the jades on your jade necklace, especially the larger "jade ring" (pendant) at the bottom. I believe they can be made of nice jadeite, but without looking or testing them, I cannot be 100% sure. The color of the "gold" does look kind of odd and I could not remember any modern Chinese gold jewelries would be made of anything but 24K or 18K gold. But if you had tested it (by a credible jeweler?)and confirmed that it was 14-18k gold then just the gold content alone would be worth your purchase price of $10. Its workmanship, IMHO, is also very good. Therefore I believe this is a very nice piece based on your low-resolution pictures, thank you for sharing. Super |
