Gold-plated Multi-Colored Jade bracelet

$169.00
Gold plated multi-color jade and heavy gold plated Chinese character link bracelet featuring vibrant colors of green, red, purple, pearl, sand and black jade sections. The "JC" mark is found on mid-to-late 20th-century vintage Asian-export jewelry, particularly multi-color jade link bracelets that feature openwork spacers stamped with auspicious Chinese characters (that traditionally wish the wearer a balanced, abundant, and joyful life). SIZE: 7-1/2" 壽 (Shou) – Longevity: This highly recognizable stylized character represents a wish for a long, healthy, and peaceful life. It is one of the most popular motifs in Chinese decorative arts. 祿 (Lu) – Prosperity & Success: This character traditionally relates to high status, professional success, and financial abundance. Historically, it represented the official salary and career advancement of a government official. 福 (Fu) – Good Fortune & Happiness: Commonly placed near the center or clasp of the bracelet, this character is a universal blessing for luck, harmony, wealth, and general well-being. 喜 (Xi) or 雙喜 (Shuangxi) – Joy or Double Happiness: This character represents celebration, immense joy, and marital or family bliss. Together, these four characters form the iconic phrase "Fu Lu Shou Xi," which represents the Four Celestial Blessings or Star Deities in Chinese folk belief. When worn on a multi-color jade bracelet, the stones and the characters reinforce one another: the jade is believed to ward off negative energy and offer protection, while the gold characters constantly project wishes for luck, wealth, health, and joy. *This item is pre-owned. Please see the pictures of the wear on some of the metal areas where it has flaked off or scratched. Priced accordingly due to this. *Vintage pieces are pre-owned. Most pieces are one of a kind and cannot be replaced. We will give you as much information as possible regarding the condition of the item, including supplying additional pictures if needed. Due to the nature of antique and vintage items, there may be blemishes, nicks, or other imperfections as expected with age and use. All items are sold “As Is”.
