About the Item

These striking vintage drop earrings feature rich purple jadeite bars set in warm yellow gold mountings. Each earring is topped with a square gold stud depicting a Chinese character—commonly associated with blessings or good fortune—rendered in an openwork design. The jadeite stones display a smooth, polished finish with subtle marbling, providing a rich contrast to the sleek shine of the gold. Elegant and culturally significant, these earrings beautifully blend symbolism and style. The use of Chinese script and natural jadeite references traditional motifs, while the clean geometric lines offer timeless versatility. The earrings are fitted with post backs for pierced ears. Materials: Natural purple jadeite, .925 sterling Period: Likely late 20th century Style: Asian-inspired, symbolic jewelry Closure: Post backs Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minimal wear Perfect for collectors of meaningful jewelry or those drawn to bold, elegant pieces with heritage significance.
