Cloisonné and jade together -- a classic combination, and one that we obviously favor!The cloisonné faceted pendant bead has tiny pink flowers with green leaves on all sides on a red background. The cloisonne bead is topped by a column of three jade beads alternating with two brass spacer beads. The clear verdant green jade complements the green in the cloisonne.Note that the earrings were photographed at an angle to show that the pendant bead is not symmetrical; however, the earrings are exactly the same.The earrings are a little over 2" long, with gold vermeil (24kt gold over sterling silver) hoops. The cloisonné bead is approximately 18mm long and 10mm in diameter at the widest point.Item ID: 2790***** ******After 40 years of designing jewelry for museums and collecting beads, I am now offering my treasures to you, my valued trading partner.I am particularly enchanted with the Chinese culture in all its glory.A while ago, I purchased the inventory of a trusted Chinese merchant upon his retirement from the trade.I am in the constant process of restringing or re-designing the contents of that inventory -- or, if I'm lucky, doing nothing at all to it!As you see, my shop has items that you will find nowhere else.I have been designing for the most estimable museums and catalogs for many years.Among them are The Smithsonian, The Met, read more
