A Vintage Necklace of Deep Facette Green Jade Tapered Beads

A vintage necklace featuring deep green jade beads with a slightly mottled appearance and a finely facetted hexagonal surface. The beads taper in diameter toward a secure and smoothly functioning lobster claw clasp. The strand is not knotted, allowing the beads to drape naturally and comfortably without kinking. In excellent condition with no damage or losses, this is a beautifully presented piece showcasing the richness of jade and the skill required to create such uniform faceting. Approximate dimensions: overall length 47.5cm; bead diameter tapers from 1.3cm at the centre to 0.6cm near the clasp; total weight 42.2g. A highly desirable and elegant jade necklace.
