Vintage Gold Tone Maple Leaf Brooch Natural Nephrite Jade Stone Estate Pin

Vintage Gold Tone Maple Leaf Brooch Natural Nephrite Jade Stone Estate Pin  Beautiful vintage gold-tone maple leaf brooch featuring a genuine natural green stone, believed to be nephrite jade, securely bezel-mounted in a decorative botanical setting. The detailed leaf veining and twisted stem create an elegant woodland-inspired design that is perfect for autumn wear or year-round nature lovers.  The stone has a smooth, waxy polish with beautiful mottled shades of green and creamy white, characteristic of natural nephrite jade. It is cold to the touch and does not fluoresce under UV light, consistent with many natural nephrite specimens. The brooch is unsigned, which is common for many artisan and Canadian-made jade souvenir pieces from the 1960s–1970s.  The rollover safety clasp works properly. There is light vintage wear and minor age-related residue around the bezel that could be gently cleaned but does not detract from the beauty or function of the piece.  * Vintage gold-tone brooch * Maple leaf botanical design * Natural green stone (believed to be nephrite jade; untested) * Decorative bezel setting * Secure rollover clasp * Unsigned * Good vintage condition  Measurements  * Approximately 40 × 32 mm * Approximately 1.6 × 1.25 inches  Based on visual examination, UV response, and construction, the stone is believed to be natural nephrite jade.
