This rare vintage jar necklace, created by Elsa Peretti at Tiffany Studios in New York City between 1978-79, features a unique free-form pendant shaped like a double-handled open jar. Carved from a single piece of natural Nephrite Green Jade, it is suspended from an 18k yellow gold chain.
Each piece is distinct, showcasing Peretti's exceptional craftsmanship, and this design was intended to hold a small decorative flower or drops of perfumed oil. Weighing 15.2 grams, the jar measures 29 mm by 22 mm by 11 mm (1.14 x 0.87 x 0.43 inches) and has a chain length of 27 inches (68.58 cm). It is hallmarked with the maker's mark and signed "©ELSA PERETTI AU 0.750 TIFFANY & CO."
