Six circular jadeite cabochons of rich emerald green, plain and domed, are set in silver collets linked by small silver bars, each accented with two small red beads. The clasp has an extension chain. A Republic-period piece. Jadeite jewellery rose from the mid-Qing and flourished in the Republic. A cabochon is uncarved, its beauty resting on colour and translucency alone. Here each jadeite is separated by red beads for a bright combination. Such bracelets were daily adornment for ladies, also worn as wedding or festival ornaments; this form is common among period antique jewellery.
