14K Gold & Celadon Jade Necklace – Vintage 17” Oriental Filigree Elegance
A graceful vintage Chinese jade and 14K yellow gold necklace, composed of gently curved barrel-shaped jade segments connected by ornate filigree gold spacers and clasp, marked "14K 585".
Each jade link displays a soothing celadon-green tone with subtle marbling and translucence, polished to a lustrous sheen. The jade is natural, untreated, and hand-shaped, typical of mid-20th-century Hong Kong and Taiwan jewelry workshops (1950s-1970s) that specialized in export-quality gold and jade combinations.
The filigree gold links feature traditional "Shou" (壽) longevity symbols, reflecting blessings of long life and prosperity. Its 17-inch length sits elegantly at the collarbone, offering timeless sophistication for both modern and classic wardrobes.
