Vintage Yellow-Orange Jadeite Necklace

Category
Jewelry and Gemstones
Condition
Excellent
Description

This is a vintage Asian yellow-orange jadeite pendant on an adjustable cord.

Besides the pendant, there are 5 larger beads on the cord and two small ones.

On the pendant itself, there are 2 small and 2 bigger beads as well.

All the gems feel cold to the touch and were tested as jadeite by a gem tester.

I think the motif of the pendant is a gourd and a leaf, which has meaning in Chinese/Asian culture. Gourds are often considered symbols of prosperity and health, while leaves can represent growth, renewal, and nature's beauty.

When placed against the light, the pendant is a bit transparent. The gourd part is darker and closer to light brown. The pendant is carved from one piece of gem.

The pendant is 2'' long and 1'' wide. The necklace is 23'' without the pendant.

The overall weight of the item is 22 grams.

I believe it is from Burma. Also, I know nothing about the master who created it.

As jadeite prices vary greatly by color, it is hard for me to determine what it is worth.

Excellent condition: no scratches, no chips, no cracks.

Moorish Brass and Wood Folding Table

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

I believe this is generically called a Moorish Brass and Wood Folding Table. It could use a bit of cleaning of the brass to remove tarnish and dust from the wood, but It's in good shape for possibly being very old.

Asian?? What/when is this?

Category
Furniture
Condition
Fair
Description

I call it a cabinet, but I'm not sure about that. It has the pocket doors, it's all wood, and there is not one screw or nail in the whole thing! I think it is not varnished because I tried to wipe with water and red came off. So I used feed n wax. It's about as tall as a dining table.
