Jade is the birthstone of May and a symbol of good luck. Guardian stone for the Year of the Rabbit, Taurus, Gemini, Aquarius, and Pisces. As a power stone, it has the meaning of amulet, talisman, patience, harmony, leap forward, health, longevity, happiness, etc., and it has been called a “magic stone” in the world since ancient times.

WELLS is engraved on the back of the brooch. Wells is a jewelry manufacturer founded in Massachusetts in the United States in 1922 and continued until 1978. The brand is known for its high-quality jewelry, including brooches with nature and animal motifs, made with 14-carat gold-filled, sterling silver, and natural materials such as natural stones and pearls.

Most gold-filled American vintage accessories are made using 12 carat gold, but 14 carat gold is the norm for Wells brooches, and this one is no exception.

Gold filled is more than 100 times thicker than regular gold plating (gold coating), and because it is bonded with heat, it is durable and difficult to peel off, and its color and texture are comparable to solid gold. In Western Europe, it is often seen in high-quality antique jewelry and vintage accessories with high design.
