DESCRIPTION
If you are a lover of interesting and unusual vintage and antique jewelry, you’ve come to the right place. I try to keep a nice mix of fine and costume pieces that range in age from 19th century Victorian to late 20th century vintage designer couture. I’ve recently returned from the largest antiques show in Texas and have LOADS of impressive pieces to list. I will be listing approximately 60 auctions that will end on Tuesday, April 24 and and another 100 that will end Thursday, April 26. Please be sure to browse through all of the listings and mark your calendars. This will be an excellent opportunity to add some amazing pieces to your collection. is a rare and extremely impressive vintage Chinese carved white jade, gilt silver, and enamel brooch. The carving on this piece is AMAZING! I think the jade may be older than the setting. I’m not sure if it depicts a butterfly or a cicada. The central design looks like a cicada but when you look at the overall design it appears to be a butterfly with its wings spread. There are two symbols carved on each side of the wings. It is difficult to tell in the photos but the four symbols are actually carved in higher relief than the rest of the piece. The brooch measures approx 2 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ and is marked “SILVER” on the underside. The brooch weighs approx 29.4 grams and is in free from damage. Feel free to email me and please be sure to check out my other auctions for more great pieces of vintage jewelry and many other interesting and unusual pieces of art deco, mid century modern, and hollywood regency design.
