This auction is for a very pretty necklace made of a graduated strand of beautifully painted beads. The beads are painted from the inside which gives them a detailed 3 dimensional look. There are scenes of women gathered together, several of brightly colored fish in Ponds and some village scenes. The necklace is strung on thick pink silk and a silver filigreed bell is hung as a centerpiece.I will be listing items for the next month from an estate of prominent Collector. She collected mostly Chinese beads and Jewelry. But there will be other items as well. She had a great passion for beads. Right now I am going thru the Chinese, when that is finished I will start on the Czech and Italian. There are many Boxes full so I imagine the entirety will take quite awhile. I will take many pictures from many angles, please consider these part of the description and look at them carefully. Please ask any questions you may have, I am happy to answer. I am happy to combine shipping on all auctions you win in a 7 day period, I can not go longer than that, so plan on paying every week if you are bidding on several items. I always pack carefully, if you want extra secure packing please pay for Priority Express.Measurements: The largest bead 25.3mm the smallest bead 18.2mm The bell measures 24.5mm x 14.4mm.
