Subject:JADE ORNAMENTS
Posted By: DMOON Fri, May 01, 2015 IP: 72.234.175.36

Anyone familiar with the exact period of these jade & serpentine carvings as well as current China/HK or US retail prices. Belonged to a prominent jeweler from Hawaii who traveled to China/HK from 1930's - 80's. Mahalo.

I believe most of your flower pieces are from Ming or Qing dynasty. This kind of jades were usuually sew on cloth or hats. The dealer did a good job seperating jades from sepertine. Unfortunately, even though they are old, they are not worthy much in the market as they are small. If you bring these to an auction house, they probably will recommend sold as a lot with estimate value from $600 - $900, in my personal opinion.
