Vintage Jade & 14k Gold Hinged Bangle Bracelet

This collectible mid‑century green and white jade bracelet showcases a double row of smooth jade segments, joined by warm 14k gold caps and hinges for fluid, comfortable movement on the wrist. The bracelet evokes the era when American travelers crossed the Pacific to Hong Kong and other Asian ports, returning home with exquisite jade treasures as lifelong mementos of their journeys.

During the mid‑20th century, department stores and specialty salons such as Gump’s in San Francisco introduced American clients to curated “Chinese treasures” and fine jade jewelry. Well‑heeled tourists followed suit, traveling to Asia and returning with jade bracelets, bangles, and beads chosen as tangible reminders of ocean crossings, bustling markets, and grand hotel lobbies.

This particular bangle is in two pieces connected by 14k yellow gold engraved caps with a safety chain.  The button to open is in the shape of a heart. This bangle is secure and ready to wear.
