Chinese Turquoise Necklace w/ Antique Art Nouveau Buddha Sterling Pendant

Description

This is a listing for an estate necklace featuring antique and vintage carved aventurine components strung on faceted Hubei turquoise beads.
The focal point of the necklace is an Art Nouveau era antique pendant.  It's cast in sterling, stamped as such on the back, that was given a gold wash.  The front of the pendant has a polished overlay pattern with a textured background done in a classic Art Nouveau Chinese design.  It frames a green Peking glass buddha.
It's strung on a strand of faceted Hubei turquoise beads.  2 more carved buddha's, these done in green aventurine, accent each side.  The necklace closes with antique engraved cones and brass hook and eye clasp.  The old brass findings are a nice match to the gold washed sterling pendant.  And the green buddhas pick up the green tones in the carved turquoise perfectly.
The total wearing length of the necklace is 21 inches.  The Art Nouveau pendant measures 2 and 1/8th inches in length, not including the bail and is 1 inch wide.  The carved green jade buddha's are 1 inch long and .75 inches in width and .5 inches thick.  The faceted turquoise beads are 12mm across.  The Hubei turquoise mine has been closed.  It produced beautiful shades of blue and green stone.  The necklace is a charming piece, especially for the woman who enjoys buddha jewelry.  It will arrive Priority with insurance.  Thank you for looking.
