Vanishing artistry! Rare and becoming extinct. The beautiful,BIG 15mm beads shown here were made by 2 different types of artists in old China. 1st came the artists who carved the Cinnabar which was then transferred to the cloisonne artist who embedded the lovely flower enamel work into the pendant. There are 8 steps to forming the enamel work (please look at my bead forming picture, it's the same process).So together with the Cinnabar work (at least 3 steps)-it takes 12 steps to create this work of art. This type of art was passed on from generation to generation. In China of our days, the young generation is no longer interested in this kind of work, but as you can imagin, prefer hi-tech. So what remains are the items that are circulating in the market and those are now collectors items. 50pcx15mmmm beads . 34" long with Chinese motif safety latch, clasp. One side has the Cloisonne flower embedded-other side carved with Longevity symbol. Very wonderful price-on sale! 1970's unused stock-necklace has been restrung with red silk.
