Vintage 14k Yellow Gold Jadeite Jade Cabochon Cluster Ring

This vintage ring features a central oval cabochon-cut jadeite jade gemstone, characterized by a soft, pale mint green hue with natural, mottled translucency. The jade is securely held within a multi-pronged setting, surrounded by a distinctive textured gold halo. This halo consists of nine circular/floral openwork clusters that display a granular or 'nugget' style finish, typical of mid-20th-century jewelry design. The mounting is crafted in 14k yellow gold, visible in the warm metallic tones of the openwork head and the solid band. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-century era, likely dating from the 1960s to 1970s, characterized by the 'brutalist' organic texturing on the gold elements. Notable features include the high-profile setting and the intricate, hand-finished quality of the decorative clusters. The condition appears well-maintained with a natural light patina on the gold and no visible fractures or surface abrasions on the jade cabochon. There are no maker's stamps visible from the top view, but the design reflects commercial high-quality jewelry production of its period. The piece exhibits a balanced aesthetic between the smooth, cool surface of the stone and the highly tactile, jagged gold framework.
