Still searching for info on item..

[amandab]

I haven't had a whole lot of luck yet receiving information about this item. Some think its a Chinese Jade Buckle and I agree... thats exactly what it looks like to me.. But I would like to find out for sure and learn the history about it. I have emailed several people and places about it but have had no definate replies. Any more ideas ??
Still searching,

Why don't you try Robyn Buntin of Honolulu. There is some items that resemble your find. I googled Jade Robe Buckles and came up with her web site. Perhaps, if you have not emailed her? She can shed some light.
