Vintage Nephrite Jade and Gold-Tone Cufflinks

This pair of vintage cufflinks features oval-shaped, polished nephrite jade cabochons set within a yellow gold-toned metal frame. The stones exhibit a mottled 'spinach green' color with lighter mossy inclusions and a waxy luster characteristic of natural jade. Each stone measures approximately 15mm by 10mm. The metal setting features a distinctive scalloped or four-cornered crown motif that secures the stone while adding a decorative mid-century flair. The construction suggests a mid-20th-century origins, likely from the 1960s or 1970s. The condition appears to be well-maintained with vintage patina on the metal; however, there are no visible chips or fractures to the jade stones themselves. While maker's marks are not visible in the current orientation, the uniform polishing of the stone and the symmetry of the claw-like settings indicate quality costume jewelry craftsmanship. The items are presented in a vintage pink velvet-lined jewelry case, which shows some signs of wear and fraying consistent with age.
