Not sure why, but green stones don’t do it for me. (No, not even if you gave me an emerald.) But I could make an exception for these stunning jadeite earrings, which the seller, Great Britain’s George Pragnell, estimates as being from 1900-1910. (Given how delicate Edwardian jewellery looked, my thinking would be slightly later, but no marks are listed in the description.)

This sells for USD$$21,891.48.
