Product Description

Vintage Chinese mauve pink cloisonne beads that we purchased during one of our first buying trips to Hong Kong in 1982.

The detail is extraordinary and the depth and richness of the colors ( turquoise, red , green and very dark brown )is beautiful! The background is somewhat difficult to describe - it's a shade of pink that's very subtle and has a tinge of purple in it which you can hopefully see in the photographs.

If you love this bead, please check out item no. CLO-042 which is the same bead but instead has a beautiful true lapis blue background color!

Price is for 4 of these lovely beads which each measure approximately 7mm x 18mm and we 100% guarantee them to be vintage cloisonne purchased in Hong Kong in 1982.

The cloisonne that is manufactured these days is not of such fine quality or has as much detail and this vintage cloisonne is quite sought after!

I sold beads like this through the Smithsonian Institution's museum shop and mail order catalog during the 1980's and they were also featured in trunk shows at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue during this same time period.
