Vintage Chinese Hand-Painted Porcelain Necklace

About the Item

This vintage Chinese porcelain bead necklace features 37 beads with russet orange 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. The knots between beads are the larger size. 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 24 inches (61 cm). Each of the hand-painted porcelain beads. The size of the beads varies from 13.5 to 14.7 mm. The weight of the necklace is 110 grams (3.8 oz). Jewelry with history! The clasp works excellently. It is a very beautiful necklace and in superb vintage condition, with no loss of enamel, and the cotton is very sturdy.
