The interest in Chinese items continues, one type of bangle that has increase with some interest are

the old inexpensive lacquered reed or rattan bangles.

I believe the interest stems from the silver workmanship that accents the bangles.

Pricing is determined by the collectibility of the bangle and the design work on it.

Recently I came across a vintage Poster on the internet of Chinese products

from the Kwong Sang Hong Company “Two Girls” products.

What interested me in the poster was the Rattan Reed  Bangles worn by both of the women  models including other bracelets.

I was reently gifted 3 of these Reed Rattan Bangles by a good friend of mine.

All are Accented by Chinese Design Motifs done in Silver.

Two are double stacked bangles edged with twisted Silver between the stack.

All bangle bracelets have different design work.

Brooch A Looker!

From a recent acqusition we purchased a questionable jade brooch.

Many characteristics made this particular brooch made us question the authenticity of the age and the actual stone.
Of course we naturally took a stand of caution after a consultation with our gemologist.

The gemologist and I both came to the same conclusion.

The mount of the jewelry piece seemed to be out of character with the stone so the next step

would be to send the piece to GIA.

The longer we do estate acquistions the more we feel that the certification is essential for questionable stones.

My thoughts on this particular item, it’s not confirmed as genuine until we get the report from GIA.

After a little longer wait period the piece came back as a certified GIA stone.

But due to the finish we thought it might be a newer produced gold mount.

Will we continue to send our pieces to GIA?

A resounding Yes!
