This vintage jade claw charm has such a lovely feel to it. The carved jade is beautifully smooth to touch and the gold fitting/setting has such pretty hand engraved detailing. The jade is such a stunning deep green colour which lightens slightly when the light shines though it too.
Jade is said to be a protective stone, protecting the wearer from harm and increasing love and nurturing so it would make a lovely talisman piece.
The 'claw' itself is made of a single piece of carved and polished jade which has been set in a gold fitting/cap. The setting tests as 9ct gold, it's unhallmarked, and the gold has lovely warm tone to it.
The charm weighs approx 1.6g and measures approx 17.3mm tall (not including the jump ring) by approx 14.8mm wide at the top by approx 4.1mm deep at the top.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some signs of age including some light surface wear to the gold and jade. The pointed tip of the jade has a small chip to it. The jump ring is currently pushed closed and is slightly yellower in tone than the gold engraved fitting colour. Please see photos.
*Please note the chain and box pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch*
