must-have ! Antique Chinese Republic Era Nephrite Jade Archer’s Thumb Ring – 28g Mossy.

This is a genuine antique Chinese archer’s thumb ring dating to the Republic Era (1912–1949), carved from natural nephrite jade. The ring exhibits a charming mossy green color with a densely fibrous texture and moderate translucency under light.

There is no UV fluorescence, and the stone tests in the nephrite range on a Presidium Gem Tester II, confirming its natural composition. The surface displays well-preserved workmanship, with velvety inner and outer edges typical of the Republic period’s utilitarian but refined craftsmanship.
