This exquisite Nephrite Jade and Pearl Sword Pin is a striking example of Edwardian craftsmanship, rendered in 9ct gold. Featuring a unique and elegant design inspired by the symbolic sword motif, this piece seamlessly combines natural materials with delicate artistry, making it a collector’s treasure.

The sword’s hilt and blade are adorned with polished Nephrite Jade, renowned for its vibrant green hue and cultural significance in New Zealand as a symbol of strength and heritage. The jade exhibits a smooth, glossy surface with a natural translucence. The pin is accented with seed pearls, carefully placed to enhance the refined elegance of the piece. Their soft sheen provides a beautiful contrast to the bold green of the jade. A delicate 9ct gold chain with a small jade bead serves as a functional yet decorative safety chain, ensuring the pin remains secure while adding an extra layer of sophistication.

Condition:
The pin is in excellent antique condition, with the jade free of chips and cracks and the pearls retaining their lustrous quality. The gold shows only minimal signs of wear consistent with age, further testifying to the piece’s careful preservation over the years.
Measurements:
Length of Sword Pin: Approx. 8.5 cm
Symbolism:

This New Zealand Nephrite Jade and Pearl Sword Pin is an extraordinary blend of history, artistry, and symbolism, making it an ideal addition to any collection of fine antique jewellery.
