Important 1920s Glass-Type Floating Flower Jadeite Bangles 段家玉 Duan Family Jade

About the Item

This exceptional jadeite jade bangle is one of the legendary Duan Family Jades (段家玉), originating from a remarkable 150kg jadeite boulder discovered around 1920 by jade merchant Duan Shengcai in Yunnan's Qiluo Village. This piece represents an extraordinary piece of Chinese jade history, being one of approximately 400 pairs crafted between 1920-1930 from this unique boulder during the Republican period. The bangle exhibits the distinctive characteristics of authentic Duan Family Jade: exceptional transparency reminiscent of glass, with mesmerizing blue-green "floating flowers" (飘花) that appear to drift like aquatic plants in clear water. These patterns shift and dance with changing light, creating an almost three-dimensional effect. The stone's unique composition results in a slightly higher density than typical jadeite and superior hardness, making it extraordinarily rare and valuable for both collectors and researchers. This bangle measures: Left: - Outer Diameter: 7.8cm - Inner Diameter: 5.7cm - Thickness: 11.37mm - Weight: 68.96g Right: - Outer Diameter: 7.9cm - Inner Diameter: 5.7cm - Thickness: 10.97mm - Weight: 69.09g The historical significance of Duan Family Jade cannot be overstated - the finest pair was notably acquired by Madame Soong Mei-ling, while most pieces were distributed internationally during the Republican period, with very few remaining in China. This piece represents not just fine jadeite jewelry, but a tangible connection to a fascinating chapter in Chinese jade history, when a discarded boulder revealed one of the most remarkable discoveries in jade connoisseurship. The bangle's pristine condition and historical provenance make it an exceptional acquisition for serious collectors of important Chinese jades. Each bangle comes with certification confirming its natural, untreated status (Type A jadeite). ______________________________________________ 此对手镯为传奇的段家玉之一,源自1920年前后云南绮罗乡段家巷玉商段盛才发现的一块300余斤重的翡翠原石。段家玉在中国翡翠史上具有无可替代的地位,是迄今为止仅发现的一块具有独特品质的翡翠原料,共制成约400对手镯。 这对手镯展现了段家玉的标志性特征:玻璃般的通透底子,清澈见底,兰色飘花浮于其中,宛如清水中的水草随波荡漾。在不同光线下,飘花会呈现出动态的立体效果。这种玉料的硬度较一般翡翠更高,比重大于水沫子,是极为罕见的特殊品种。 手镯尺寸: 左镯: 外径:7.8厘米 内径:5.7厘米 厚度:11.37毫米 重量:68.96克 右镯: 外径:7.9厘米 内径:5.7厘米 厚度:10.97毫米 重量:69.09克 段家玉在民国时期就享有盛名,其中品质最佳的一对曾为宋美龄所收藏。大部分段家玉在当时已流散海外,存世稀少。此对手镯保存完好,具有权威机构出具的天然无优化处理(A货)证书,是难得一见的精品收藏级翡翠。
