This bracelet, manufactured for the European market during the Art Deco period (1920-1930), comprises four articulated segments of silver filigree with openwork motifs and floral symmetries. Each panel is centered on an oval cabochon in jade tones, crafted from pressed glass paste, with a decorative bas-relief. The tongue and chain clasp is typical of pieces exported from southern China to the luxury bazaars of Paris and London during the first third of the 20th century.
The setting features meticulous filigree work with fine, interwoven silver threads, stylized three-dimensional flowers, and small applied spheres, evoking both Chinese craftsmanship and the decorative geometry of French Art Deco. The deep green cabochons contrast vividly with the oxidized silver base, perfectly in keeping with the aesthetics of the period. This gem reflects the Western fascination with modern exoticism during the 1920s, at the height of Orientalist collecting.
A unique piece for Asian collectors, ideal for complementing classic styles. Its craftsmanship and the use of symbolic materials like imitation jade make it a piece of great aesthetic and historical value, perfect as a gift or for collecting.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.
We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.
If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
