The hammered gold bracelet decorated with a rectangular jadeite plaque carved with stylized clouds, the links incorporating a repeating ruyi-head motif, the ring set with a carved and pierced jadeite plaque of irregular shape, the mounting of rope design, both signed Webb, ring size 5½.

Both pieces in good condition with light wear to the mountings. The plaque set into the bracelet is semi-translucent (the plaque is quite thick, measuring at its greatest depth approximately 8.5 mm).
