此翡翠扳指有射箭使用過的痕跡,係來源所有人陳俊英女士 ( 1932 - ) 的父親陳萬承是明朝洪武十八年 (公元 1385 年) 被明朝皇帝朱元璋封為軍事大元帥的先祖陳秀甫的第 20 代後裔。而陳秀甫的第 18 代後裔陳雲標(日據台灣時户籍造為陳云發)係清朝來台人士考入「清朝武秀才」第一人,清朝學名稱「登雲」,設「登雲館」傳授百般武藝予有志青年,一時顯名遐邇。此翡翠扳指即為其從清朝旗人貴族處所取得並帶入台灣使用。而在日本佔據台灣之前,陳雲標的宗侄陳東福即已經考進清朝武秀才。
清朝的扳指在統治階層非常流行,分為文扳指和武扳指,文扳指是文臣佩戴,講究材質珍貴、工藝複雜和外觀美麗,武扳指則是武臣佩戴,在工藝和外觀上並不講究,通常素面無紋,而此翡翠扳指素面無紋且有射箭使用過的痕跡,是個武扳指。
清代各種規制日趨完善,扳指雖小卻也是森嚴等級的一種象徵,多以玉石、翡翠、瑪瑙、珊瑚等名貴材料製作的扳指,非皇室貴冑一般人是不敢也不能隨意佩戴的。普通旗人佩戴的扳指,以白玉磨製者為最多,貴族扳指則以翡翠質料者為上選。陳雲標並非旗人貴族,卻將此翡翠扳指帶入日據台灣使用,顯然清朝政府也是鞭長莫及,毫無管轄權利。
清朝諸位帝王對翡翠扳指喜愛有加,因而盛極一時,達官貴人喜歡將之戴在手指摩挲,流露出地位、權利、富貴和氣質,遂成為身分地位的表徵。紀曉嵐在《閱微草堂筆記》中記載,翡翠因其美麗稀有,在乾隆朝早期到中晚期短短五、六十年間,即從鮮為人知的玉材一躍而上,價值超過和闐美玉,成為「玉石之王」。然上等質地翡翠不需再施雕琢,以翡翠本身天然成色取勝,故本件翡翠扳指白藍綠三彩高貴迷人,是為上品中的極品。
This jadeite carved archery thumb ring has traces of being used in archery and is attributed to the owner, Ms. Chen Junying (1932-), whose father, Chen Wancheng, was the 20th generation descendant of ancestor Chen Xiufu. Chen Xiufu was nominated as military generalissimo by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty in the 18th year of Hongwu period in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1385). The 18th generation descendant of Chen Xiufu was Chen Yunbiao (whose registered household registration name was Chen Yunfa during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan). Chen Yunbiao was the first person entering into Taiwan from the Qing Dynasty to pass the national-exam as a "Qing Dynasty Martial Arts Scholar". His Qing Dynasty's scholar name was "Dengyun" and the "Dengyun Martial Arts Pavilion" was established by him. He taught all kinds of martial arts to aspiring young people, and became famous for a while. This jadeite carved archery thumb ring was obtained by him from the nobles of the Qing Dynasty bannermen and brought to Taiwan for him to use. Before Japan occupied Taiwan, Chen Yunbiao's nephew Chen Dongfu had already passed the national-exam in the Qing Dynasty as a martial arts scholar.
The Qing Dynasty's archery thumb ring was very popular among the ruling class people. It was divided into civil archery thumb ring and military archery thumb ring. Civil archery thumb ring was worn by civil servants and paid attention to precious materials, complex craftsmanship and beautiful appearance. Military archery thumb ring was worn by military officials and was not particular about craftsmanship and appearance. The surface of military archery thumb ring is usually plain and has no patterns. This jadeite carved archery thumb ring is plain and has no patterns on the surface and has traces of being used in archery. It is a military archery thumb ring.
In the Qing Dynasty, various regulations were gradually perfect. Although the archery thumb ring was small, it was also a symbol of strict hierarchy. Archery thumb rings were mostly made of jade, jadeite, agate, coral and other precious materials. Most people who were not members of the royal family and nobles did not dare and could not wear them casually. The archery thumb rings worn by ordinary bannermen are mostly made of white jade, while the archery thumb rings worn by nobles are made of jadeite as the best selection. Chen Yunbiao was neither a bannerman nor a noble, but he brought this jadeite carved archery thumb ring into Japan-occupied Taiwan for use. Obviously, the Qing government was beyond its reach in Taiwan and had no jurisdiction over it.
The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very fond of jadeite carved archery thumb rings, so they became very popular for a while. Dignitaries liked to wear them on their fingers and rub them, revealing status, power, wealth and temperament, and it became a symbol of status. Ji Xiaolan recorded in "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" that due to its beauty and rarity, jadeite jumped from a little-known jade material to a value exceeding that of Khotan jade in just 50 to 60 years from the early to the middle upto late Qianlong period of dynasty, and became the "King of Jade". However, high-quality jadeite does not need to be carved, and the natural color of the jadeite prevails itself. Therefore, this jadeite carved thumb ring with three colors of white, blue and green is noble and charming, and is the extremely best of the best.

The Collisions and Mix-and-Match of Materials in Jewelry
The beauty of jewelry not only arises from clever design and vibrant colors but is also deeply rooted in the diverse fusion of materials, marking a fascinating intersection of art and culture. Materials, serving as the cornerstone of all design elements in jewelry, constitute a crucial part of the overall aesthetic appeal. When two or more materials are mixed and matched, they often collide, creating a tension of beauty derived from the cultural and aesthetic differences symbolized by the materials.
This kind of intensive collision of materials was once prevalent in the Art Deco movement of the last century. The Art Deco style itself emphasized a rich diversity of materials and adeptly incorporated exotic styles from Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Persian, ancient Egyptian, and Mayan cultures. Building upon this foundation, rare and precious materials like jade, jadeite, ebony, ivory, and others from the East were integrated into traditional jewelry and precious metals, creating a new context for an East-West dialogue driven by materials.
Tumblr media
Van Cleef & Arpels Art Deco-style Vanity Case
In the 1920s, as women became increasingly independent, with societal acceptance of young ladies smoking and applying makeup in public, there emerged a new demand for vanity cases. Unlike their previous bulky counterparts, these new portable vanity cases were designed with a fashionable and sleek aesthetic in line with the Art Deco style. Manufactured by renowned jewelry houses such as Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, these cases featured elaborate decorations and a variety of materials including mother of pearl, tortoiseshell, jade, and gemstones.
One notable example showcased in Sotheby's auction is a vanity case designed by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1926, exuding an exotic flair. Adorned with black and cobalt blue enamel, the lid is embellished with a floral motif carved from coral and jade, accented with rose-cut diamonds and round rubies. The incorporation of new materials brought luxury and vibrant colors to the vanity case, while the inclusion of jade and lapis lazuli imparted a subtle and calm quality to the piece. This dual influence reflects different facets of Eastern and Western cultures, creating a tension of beauty resonating through luxury, vibrancy, and tranquility.
Tumblr media
ChuCui Palace Cloud Poetry Brooch
Another visual feast within the realm of jewelry is the fusion of French aesthetics and Chinese influence, known as Chinoiserie. In the mid-20th century, ChuCui Palace, a high-end jewelry brand born from an Italian Roman heritage, incorporated Western craftsmanship with a touch of Chinoiserie aesthetics to create the exquisite "Cloud Poetry" brooch under their premium jewelry line. The piece pays homage to the Chinese Year of the Dragon, a theme deeply rooted in both Chinese culture and the European interpretation within the realm of Chinoiserie aesthetics.
Through the collision of different gemstones and materials, the artwork presents a layered relationship of illusion and reality, precision and looseness, conveying a light and clear composition. The meticulous arrangement of blue gemstones in the form of a "dragon body" draws inspiration from the shading technique in traditional Chinese fine brushwork. The interplay between the translucent "auspicious clouds" and the intricate, realistic carving creates a progressively intricate and harmonious composition.
The piece embodies the subtle and flowing curves reminiscent of Rococo style within Chinoiserie aesthetics, along with the ornate and complex decorative elements, a pursuit of light and delicate textures, asymmetry in composition, and thorough attention to materials. Embracing the concept of important blank spaces in Eastern aesthetics, the ethereal and dreamlike quality of the "auspicious clouds" is juxtaposed with the exquisite delicacy and solidity of the "dragon body." This showcases the rich sense of rhythm in the artwork, the mysterious allure unique to the East captured in the poetic line "the cloud dragon frequently sends dreams," and the tension of beauty inherent in Eastern aesthetics.
Tumblr media
New Art Nouveau Style Enamel with Pearl and Diamond Brooch
In addition to the Art Deco and Chinoiserie styles, the Art Nouveau style, which was widely popular in Europe and America from the late 19th to the mid-20th century, also exhibits a diverse expression of materials. Art Nouveau abandons three-dimensional structures in favor of a pursuit of flat aesthetics, characterized by dynamic, undulating lines. Featured in Sotheby's auction is an antique brooch showcasing the Art Nouveau style.
The enamel colors, diamonds, pearls, and gold in the artwork engage in a dialogue, utilizing jewelry as a medium to create flat, painting-like artworks. The vibrant colors of enamel break traditional concepts of jewelry design, resembling pigments that 'depict' nature or feminine themes. The richness of color in enamel, combined with the nobility of gold, the brilliance of diamonds, and the purity of pearls, collide within the graceful, natural, and noble themes encapsulated by soft lines. The piece epitomizes elegance and sophistication in the portrayal of nature and femininity.
These precious jewelry pieces, akin to historical records, bear witness to the changes of time. The jewelry in the Art Deco style emanates a unique radiance from the last century, showcasing the era's pursuit of material richness and luxury Chinoiserie aesthetic jewelry, in its fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, exhibits a distinctive artistic charm. The interplay of various materials creates a magnificent tableau. Meanwhile, the Art Nouveau style's flat aesthetics elevate jewelry to an artistic height. Using enamel, diamonds, and pearls as a medium, it paints a picturesque world of nature or feminine themes within the realm of jewelry. The collision and mix of materials are not just design techniques but also a unique presentation of diverse cultures and artistic expressions.
From the luxurious collisions of Art Deco to the harmonious blend of reality and illusion in Chinoiserie aesthetics, and further to the flat aesthetics of Art Nouveau, each style showcases a unique aesthetic vision in the selection of materials.

把價值美金八百萬元的翡翠扳指套在拇指上,究竟是何種感覺呢?

Dignitaries liked to wear them on their fingers and rub them, revealing status, power, wealth and temperament, and it became a symbol of status. Ji Xiaolan recorded in "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" that due to its beauty and rarity, jadeite jumped from a little-known jade material to a value exceeding that of Khotan jade in just 50 to 60 years from the early to the middle upto late Qianlong period of dynasty, and became the "King of Jade". However, high-quality jadeite does not need to be carved, and the natural color of the jadeite prevails itself. This jadeite carved archery thumb ring with ice type violette and green colors not only has a noble and charming appearance, but is also clearly made with excellent carving techniques by the Qianlong imperial workshop of the Qing Dynasty. It is truly exquisite and is the best of the best.
How does it feel to put an eight million US dollars' jadeite carved archery thumb ring on your thumb?
