Description

The jade plaque carved with an intricate knot symbolizing luck, bordered by segments of baguette and single-cut diamonds at the sides, weighing a total of approximately 1.15 carats, mounted in platinum. 

Condition

Very good condition. The medium to medium-deep, slightly bluish green, finely carved jade plaque presents a fibrous translucency with some areas of color concentration. The diamonds are approximately G-H color, VS clarity. A lovely example of the influence of Asian decorative motifs on Art Deco jewelry.
