Art Deco Sterling Silver and Carved Green Aventurine or Jadeite Link Bracelet
This is a vintage panel-style link bracelet, likely dating from the 1930s to the 1950s (Art Deco or Retro period). The piece features four rectangular, cabochon-cut stones of a vibrant mottled green hue, consistent with carved aventurine quartz or nephrite jade. Each stone is intricately carved with a geometric or floral motif and is held in place by four small corner prongs. The stones are alternating with decorative silver connector links that feature a stylized scroll or 'butterfly' motif with fine filigree-like details and small central spheres. The metal composition appears to be sterling silver, suggested by the characteristic tarnishing and patina visible in the recessed areas of the design. The construction uses a triple-chain link system connecting each panel, providing flexibility and durability. The clasp is a folding box-style pressure tongue, common for this era, though no specific maker's marks are visible in the photo. The condition appears fair to good; while the stones seem intact without significant chips, there is notable surface oxidation on the metal components and signs of age-related wear on the links. The overall craftsmanship indicates a mid-to-high quality costume or semi-precious jewelry production, typical of the 'Export Silver' style frequently produced in Asia or for the European market in the mid-20th century.
