Antique Chinese Nephrite Jade Quince Fruit Carved 18 k Gold Setting Pendant

Beautifully done. I believe the fruit depicted is a quince. No chips or cracks. The setting was acid tested to 18 karat gold. The pendant is 4.6 centimeters long, and 2.8 cm wide. Native to China the flowering quince is thought to bring good luck and prosperity.
In excellent condition. What a lovely gift to celebrate the new year.

Gubelin 18k Yellow Gold Libra Zodiac Brooch Astrological Pin Scales of Justice 1980

From their 1980 Zodiac line, this fabulous modernist Gubelin LIBRA Brooch is a rare item. I have not found any of the Zodiac pieces of jewelry that weren’t pendants. I believe this one was bespoke or custom made by Gubelin as the craftsmanship is unwavering. Marked with the company on the bottom outside of the ring and the number 750.
This brooch has clearly seen use but it is not abused. It looks as though it was probably worn on the lapel of a suit jacket on a frequent basis. The modernist style doesn’t scream zodiac, so this pin would also make a fine gift for a lawyer interested in the scales of justice.
The pin weighs 6 g and is 23.75mm in diameter.
If you know this 40 year old line of Zodiac jewelry you’ll know the pendants, in mint condition, are normally priced at $3200.
