Jayde Bracelet

Glass copies of 19th century Chinese pierced jade carvings were popular in Art Deco jewelry, and this 1930’s Czechoslovakian glass cabochon is a fine example of the type. In the first half of the 20th century, Czechoslovakia produced the finest glass stones and crystals used in jewelry, oftentimes made in cottage workshops where a few men worked over hot furnaces to mold one piece at a time.

Three ornate brass stampings, struck today in antique dies, create the structure of this timeless bracelet.

In this piece:

• 1930’s Czechoslovakian jade glass cabochon
• Three brass stampings struck today in antique dies in the USA
• Brass chain
