A beautifully sculptural vintage carved white nephrite jade flower brooch, likely dating to the 1930s-1940s. This exceptional piece features deeply carved nephrite petals with graceful pierced details, dimensional gilt floral elements, and a hand-assembled wire stamen center that gives the brooch remarkable depth and botanical realism.
Unlike the more common carved jade flower brooches, this example is unusually large, highly dimensional, and displays sophisticated craftsmanship throughout. The creamy white nephrite exhibits the soft waxy luster and natural mottling prized in genuine nephrite jade, creating an elegant organic appearance.
A striking statement piece for a lapel, coat, dress, scarf, or collection of fine vintage hardstone jewelry.
