18 Karat Gold, Jade and Ruby Cuff Bracelet, David Webb

The hinged cuff set at the front with a carved jade plaque depicting fish, set in the center with a cabochon ruby measuring approximately 12.6 by 10.3 mm., completed by a tapered stippled gold bracelet, internal circumference 6½ inches, signed Webb.

A very significant, weighty piece. The jadeite plaque is semi-translucent, mossy, medium-deep green with some lighter mottling throughout. Set with an opaque deep purplish red ruby. The gold cuff is hinged and fits small to medium-large wrists. Gross weight approximately 86.3 dwts. In very good condition. Please note that the carved plaque is jade, probably nephrite, and not jadeite as stated in the printed catalogue.
