Subject:Jadeite Significance and Original Purpose - Age
Posted By: Jerry Fri, Dec 24, 2021 IP: 24.209.216.178 I purchased this Jadeite piece at a local estate auction. It has been certified as Jadeite - A Jade by Mason Kay. |

Posted By: Steve Gridley Sat, Dec 25, 2021 In my opinion, the carving could be a stylized fish. As far as the piece itself, this style was popular in the 1960s. The carvings were typically made for the piece of jewelry. I just sold one this year in carved coral (see photo). Yours is a very nice example. |

Posted By: Jerry Sat, Dec 25, 2021 Thank You Steve Gridley. I wasn't sure because of the shape. I thought maybe it could have been used as some type of garment closure. I think it is pretty heavy for a pendant or a brooch. The setting accommodates either way to wear it. |

Posted By: Jerry Sat, Dec 25, 2021 I realized the dimensions on the cert are hard to read. The dimensions are in mm: 63.13 X 24.44 X 9.15 |

Posted By: Jerry Sun, Dec 26, 2021 Thank You Mark@imperial. I guess in the absence of any other description, I will call it a fish. |
