Vintage Chinese White Porcelain Necklace
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.

We abide by the classics in jewelry, but the search for new ideas in jewelry design is ongoing, as well as a careful selection of stones is continually being made and carried out.
The manufacture of jewelry made from natural stones has its own subtleties associated primarily with the selection of gems. The gems in the products should be ideally matched in terms of shade, cut quality, and size. In all our jewelry items, we strive to emphasize the natural beauty of the stone, using gold and silver only as a light accent, as an organic addition to the magical internal appeal of the gem. We offer the best collection of vintage beads. Turquoise, corals, garnets, amethysts, lapis lazuli, jades, and other unique gems acquire a variety of shapes and shapes and are impeccable in their radiance and brilliance. We specialize in rare vintage clasps and simply classic antique jewelry.
Each Noblesse Oblige Studio jewelry is hand-made with love. We use solely natural materials. Every piece of our jewelry reflects a unique time and place in the collective consciousness of mankind.
