Japanese Art Deco Porcelain Necklace

About the Item

This rare, gorgeous Japanese Art Deco-era 15" chocker necklace is composed of hand-painted blue and white porcelain beads in a floral motif suspended along a white metal chain and featuring a hook-clasp of aluminum. But this is not aluminum as we think of the metal today. When this piece was created, most people believed aluminum to be utterly unaffordable -the rarest metal only for the very wealthy. Japanese Art Deco jewelry is elusive. In fact, it's quite possible to carry on through life never seeing an example of Japanese Art Deco jewelry other than, perhaps, a cultured Akoya pearl necklace. This choker is a gorgeous creation that remains in pristine condition. In addition to the porcelain segments, there are small blue porcelain spacer and round glass beads. The clasp is marked "aluminum" and "Japan." A rare and unique necklace with a fascinating history.
