Stunning Beautiful Antique-Vintage 1939
Chinese Eight Immortals with Carved Panels in Silver Metal Filigree Bracelet
This is a very unusual paneled bracelet that was made in the 1930's and sold in Chinatown, San Francisco
By a novelty store called Gin Lung & Company.
It is carved Bakelite depicting the 8 immortals which is a fairy tale of sorts
That praises those who enjoy perfect contentment in Paradise.
There were supposedly 7 men and 1 woman with morals of sacrifice,
Honesty, Truth, High resolve and the Futility of earthly riches as a means of attaining the goal of Happiness.
The silver colored wire filigree surrounding each panel is very intricate and has a black antique look to it.
The piece is very sturdy and can easily be worn.
In my extensive research on this bracelet I believe the ovals to be made of Bakelite
One of the ovals must have been replaced at one time as it is lighter in appearance and the center figure is darker.
The individual ovals are set in a silver colored metal filigree design and are hinged together.
The clasp is a V-spring and Box style.
The markings on the back say China.
The bracelet is 7 inches long and each panel is just slightly under 1 inch wide.
The booklet in the photo came with the bracelet and tells the story of the Immortal Eight.
