About the Item

This vintage Chinese porcelain bead necklace features 50 beads with white and pink flower designs hand-painted on a light-colored whitish hand-knotted silk "chain." The necklace is a 1930s Art Deco piece with a gold-tone filigree clasp. Bead knotting is traditionally done with silk thread, placing a knot between each bead to prevent them from rubbing against each other. From a website about this timeless style of jewelry: "The Art Deco movement was an extension of the Art Nouveau, focusing on cross-cultural references to develop a style that was named after the 1925 International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris. This era used geometry that was found in the decorative arts found in different cultures around the world, such as Persia, Greece, India, Japan, China, and the Americas. These cultural references, along with natural, static motifs from Art Nouveau, created a classic style that was all of its own. The cultural referencing found at this time allowed for it to evolve into many styles within itself, and the jewelry and architecture endure today. It lasted until the 1940s." The necklace is a period piece, not a later reproduction. The very versatile piece that goes with almost anything looks phenomenal with a white cotton shirt and blue jeans. The length of the necklace is 41 inches (104 cm). Each of the hand-painted porcelain beads. The size of the oval beads is 18 mm. The weight of the necklace is 190 grams (6.7 oz). Jewelry with history! The clasp works excellently. It is a very beautiful necklace in good vintage condition, with no loss of enamel.

Vintage Jade Necklace With Gold Clasp
Located in Chesterland, OH
The jade beads on this necklace are undyed, untreated natural creamy honey tan jades of excellent quality. The jade beads are old. Each bead is cut and polished by hand. Presumably, the jade beads belong to the period of the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1912). It's important to note that while the beads are very old, the necklace itself was assembled much later, as indicated by the use of a modern clasp. The tiny beads between the jade are solid 14K gold. The necklace is fastened with a vintage 14K gold clasp...
