This necklace showcases rare antique Chinese Peking glass beads in an opaque plum color. It features a large tabular disk on a knotted cord, along with 25 round beads of approx. 11mm. Adjustable from 25-40 inches, it slips over the head with no clasp, and a cinch bead allows for length adjustment. With its soft colors, bubbles and jade-like hues, these beads were used as counterweight pendants in Court jewelry before 1911 and as part of Chinese Opera costumes thereafter.
This necklace will express my life stages, as a person who bears XX chromosomes. These pale pink will be infancy/toddlerhood. I love these beads because the color is SO subtle and "barely there", much like our consciousness at birth. Thank you for making them available, I love them!!
I love creating long necklaces that are not toooo over the top or difficult to wear. This pendant will become the centerpiece of a slim necklace featuring tiny faceted sapphire beads with little sterling spacers. I love it!!
