How do I care for antique jade jewellery?

Clean these pieces gently using warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaners that might damage mounted stones or pearls. Store them separately in padded boxes to prevent scratching from harder gemstones. Regularly check the security of gold or platinum settings, particularly on drop earrings and rings, to ensure the carved jade remains firmly held.

What periods do these pieces come from?

The selection spans from the eighteenth century up through the mid-twentieth century, encompassing Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco eras. You will also find Chinese Republic Period works alongside mid-century modern designs. Each period brings distinct mounting styles, ranging from heavy yellow gold wirework to geometric platinum and diamond frames.

How can I tell jadeite from nephrite?

Jadeite and nephrite are two distinct mineral species that both fall under the term jade, though they differ slightly in their crystalline structure and density. Visual inspection often reveals brighter translucent greens in jadeite, while nephrite tends to present a more subdued, oily lustre. Expert gemological testing provides definitive identification when surface characteristics alone remain inconclusive.

What motifs are common in Chinese carved jade?

Common motifs include mythical creatures such as the Pixiu, along with double dragons and general auspicious symbols intended to bring good fortune. Deity figures and traditional blessing symbols also appear frequently on pendants and plaques. These subjects draw on centuries of cultural symbolism, translated into miniature wearable art by skilled lapidaries.
