About the Item

Nephrite Jade link necklaces -and more commonly encountered bracelets) were exceedingly popular on the 1960s - early 1980s. The jewelry was so popular that pristine, unworn specimens are rarely encountered but this is exactly what you have just now encountered for yourself Composed of 15 cylindrical hand-carved deep green nephrite Jade beads that measure approximately 21mm (16mm exposed from beneath the end caps), together with 16 7mm round beads, all assembled on silver links and fittings which have been washed in gold. A simple screw clasp completes the piece. The necklace is 24" in length and 7mm thick. It weighs a substantial 59 grams! This mid-century classic is, as mentioned, in unworn, pristine condition which makes it quite remarkable. The nephrite Jade displays the high polish found in these necklaces from the 1970s and the screw clasp helps us pin down the era with confidence. A gorgeous and sophisticated statement necklace that is the exact opposite of flashy
