GORGEOUS Fine Antique Chinese Qing Dynasty Celadon Nephrite Hetian Jade Hand Carved Twist Silk Bangle
This gorgeous genuine antique 19th Century bangle is made with natural untreated Hetian celadon nephrite triple twist silk Jade.
It is from the Qing Dynasty era, finely hand carved which can be seen under magnification and amazingly carved from a single piece of nephrite jade, with no joins at all. The carving is of high quality craftsmanship.
The jade is translucent throughout the bangle. There is some natural suffusion to the jade and some natural variation in color.
Each part of the twists are well polished inside and out, then carefully shaped to make it perfectly round.
This bangle is in excellent condition and is a valuable piece of antique artisan workmanship to add to your collection. Would also make a very special gift for that special someone.
