Oval Jadeite Cabochon Pendant on Sterling Silver Chain
This piece features a large, oval-shaped green jadeite cabochon set within a decorative silver-toned bezel. The stone exhibits a mottled, pale mint-green to grayish-white coloration with some translucency, characteristic of natural jadeite. It is securely mounted in a bezel setting that features an ornate, openwork filigree pattern along the sides and on the large decorative bail. The bail is intricately designed with scrolled motifs, providing a vintage or 'antique-style' aesthetic. The metal appears to be sterling silver, judging by the luster and the style of the spring-ring clasp on the accompanying fine-link cable chain. The chain is delicate and approximately 18 inches in length. Regarding condition, the stone shows a smooth polish with a high luster and no immediate surface fractures visible, while the silver displays minor surface scratches and light oxidation consistent with gentle use. The craftsmanship reflects a mass-market mid-to-late 20th-century production, likely influenced by traditional Chinese jewelry designs. There are no clearly visible maker's marks in the photo, though such items are typically stamped on the reverse or the clasp.
