UNTIL RECENTLY, FOR DECADES THIS WELL REFINED JADEITE BANGLE WAS PASSED DOWN STRICTLY BY GENERATIONS OF THE FIRST FAMILY OF AN ASIAN STATE. THE ERUDITE EX-PRESIDENT ENJOYED A REPUTATION OF AN EXPERIENCED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE SCHOLAR. DURING HIS ACCOMPLISHED TENURE, HE INTRODUCED MONETARY REFORMS, STABILIZED FINANCIAL SYSTEMS AND LAID A GREAT FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH. AS FOR THE BANGLE'S ORIGINAL OWNER-THE HIGHBORN FIRST LADY HERSELF, SHE EMPHASIZED FAMILY VALUES WHILE LEADING A DILIGENT AND THRIFTY LIFESTYLE, ESTABLISHING HERSELF AS A GREAT ROLE MODEL FOR ENSUING POLITICIANS' WIVES. BROUGHT UP IN SUCH ATMOSPHERE, THEIR DESCENDANTS CHOSE TO LEAD A SIMPLE LIFE. INSTEAD OF EXTRAVAGANCE, DEVOTED THEMSELVES TO PAINTING AND CREATING FINE ARTS AS A CAREER. FOND OF LITERATURE AND THE ARTS, THEY HOLD A BROAD MIND AND THE SPIRIT OF GENEROSITY. CHRISTIE'S IS HONORED TO PRESENT THIS TREASURED PIECE FROM THE EX-FIRST FAMILY. WITH GREAT GRATITUDE TOWARDS THEIR GRACIOUSNESS, THIS UNIQUE PIECE CAN BE CHERISHED BY ENTHUSIAST FINE JADEITE COLLECTORS. THE BANGLE HAS A PLEASING OVAL APPEARANCE, SIMPLE BUT ELEGANT WITH AN EXTRA CREAMY CELADON COLOR AND AN EXQUISITE QUALITY. THE TOP OF THE BANGLE APPEARS TO BE INTENSE GREEN AND WAS METICULOUSLY CARVED INTO MULTIPLE CHINESE TRADITIONAL AUSPICIOUS PATTERNS SUCH AS BATS, LIONS, LINGZHI AND COINS, SYMBOLIZING HAPPINESS AND PROSPERITY. THE DESIGN ECHOES AND COMPLIMENTS ITS EMINENT PROVENANCE, ILLUSTRATING A SPECTACULAR COLLECTABLE VALUE.
