Parasol Handle
(18th and 19th Centuries )
The highly polished, T-shaped, pale jadeite handle is fitted to an elaborate collar of white and apricot guilloché enamel over gold. Rows of rose-cut diamonds with inset half-pearls border the collar and divide the enameled areas. The handle is preserved in its original Fabergé box.
