Nephrite Jade and Sterling Silver Link Bracelet

This is a vintage articulated link bracelet featuring five large, oval cabochon-cut nephrite jade stones. The jade exhibits a deep spinach-green hue with characteristic natural mottling and internal inclusions typical of nephrite. Each stone is securely housed in a silver-tone metal bezel setting, which appear to be sterling silver based on the typical construction of this style. The links are joined by simple metal hinges, allowing for flexibility on the wrist. One identifiable marking is visible on the reverse of a link, which appears to be a smith's or manufacturer's stamp, though the exact text is partially obscured in the image. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century production, likely from the 1950s to 1970s, a period when such semi-precious stone jewelry was popular. Overall condition is good, showing a light patina and minor surface scratches on the metal components consistent with age and gentle use. The jade cabochons retain a high-polished luster with no obvious chips or cracks visible. The clasp mechanism is integrated into the final link for a seamless appearance.
