Vintage Jade Butterfly Necklace Celadon Green Beaded Asian 34”

An exquisite vintage Chinese hand-carved jade necklace, measuring an elegant 34 inches in length. The piece centers on a large, finely sculpted butterfly pendant, carved from translucent celadon-green stone with soft moss inclusions — emblematic of genuine natural jadeite or aventurine.

The butterfly, a symbol of love, transformation, and immortality, is flanked by smooth round beads and two carved navette-shaped jade forms. Triple strands of miniature jade beads cascade gracefully from the wings, adding tactile texture and movement.

Each bead is hand-knotted on silk cord with gilt accent spacers, reflecting the meticulous artistry typical of mid-20th-century Hong Kong or Shanghai workshops. This piece radiates serenity, balance, and the enduring charm of traditional Chinese symbolism.
