Featured here is a early 1960's Nephrite Jade 14Kt Tubular Link Bracelet with Asian characters of Joy, Prosperity, Longevity, and Happiness. It has 4 slightly curved solid tubes measuring approx. 1-3/4" long each and 6.6mm wide bars, each attached to 14kt gold Asian symbol connectors. The color is an Emerald green shade weighting 17.72 grams with a good strong locking "push" clasp closure. It will fit a size 7" to 8" wrist comfortably. I have included a few closely lighted pictures to show the beautiful translucent color saturation, as well as, a copy of an Appraisal statement by Artist and Jeweler Bruce Snider, as a guarantee of authenticity. Jade is a symbol of serenity, purity, good luck and protection for the wearer. Jade has been highly prized for thousands of years because of the widespread belief that it possesses magical healing, wealth-bringing, and age-defying qualities. This is why you'll find jade in everything from jewelry to statues to functional household items in traditional Asian culture. In particular, jade bracelets are worn by Asian people as a symbol of safety, good fortune, and prosperity. Wearing a jade bracelet is thought to protect the wearer from harm and bring them good fortune.
