Retro Antique Carved Jade and 14k Gold Drop Earrings

A genuinely charming pair of antique jade drop earrings from the Retro era, when carved jade was a prized jewel among Western collectors following the Orientalism craze of the preceding Art Deco decades. Each drop is carved from richly mottled green jadeite — pierced and textured by hand in the manner of traditional Chinese lapidary work — and suspended from a delicate yellow gold filigree link chain. Finished with screw backs in the style of the era, these are the kind of heirloom earrings that look equally at home with a blouse or an evening gown. Eminently wearable and full of character.
