Description
Here are 2 beautiful vintage Chinese Cloisonne bead necklaces from a local estate that each measure 26 inches. The beads average about 12.3 mm each and are knotted between each one. The beads have pretty fired glass enamels in black with flowers in lime and pastel green, pink, blue, red, yellow and orange. Each bead has 3 flowers and a butterfly. One necklace has a single different bead with a only 2 single yellow flowers that have a green stem and leaves. The matching filigree clasps have scrolls and a flower and work perfectly. Each necklace weighs about 4 ounces.The daughter of the previous owner said these were purchased in the late 1960's if she remembered right and worn mostly at the same time by her mother in different ways. The pretty matching clasps became part of the design so you could wear them separately, wrapped or joined into one long opera length necklace.
The beads have some scratches and a couple with a tiny flake like chip here or there. Mentioned for accuracy, when worn I doubt anyone would ever notice. I had to use magnification to find.
The clasps have minimum light wear and with some tarnish. These are impressive!
