Vintage Natural Nephrite Jade Brooch Solid Gold 9K–10K Multi Color Jade Leaf Pin 

This beautifully crafted vintage brooch features a classic mid-century fruit-on-the-vine botanical design, set with four substantial natural nephrite jade cabochons in a harmonious range of colors, including ivory, soft green, olive green, and russet. The latter is a brownish-red and white mottled look often called "russet nephrite" and owes its coloration to natural iron staining. 

Each stone has been tested and confirmed as natural nephrite jade (RI 1.61–1.62), displaying the characteristic fibrous structure and soft, waxy luster associated with genuine jade. The russet-toned cabochon shows natural color variation typical of iron-rich nephrite. 

The gold setting is designed with dimensional leaves in a textured Florentine finish, accented by bright-cut vein detailing that catches the light beautifully. The piece has been freshly polished and presents with a rich, luminous gold surface. 

Metal: 

Tested as solid gold, primarily 9K–10K, with slight variation consistent with vintage mixed-alloy construction. All components test as solid gold.
