Vintage necklace composed of large, spherical white porcelain beads with cobalt blue enamel. Each bead is decorated with symbolic characters from traditional Chinese culture, highlighting the motif of longevity ("shou"), represented in stylized script. Stringed on blue textile thread with visible knots between each bead, a technique common in mid-20th-century pieces.
Striking and harmonious design, inspired by oriental export necklaces, highly appreciated in the Western market since the 1950s. The clasp is a fully functional metal barrel, engraved with geometric motifs.
A visually striking piece, enhanced by the white and blue contrast and the gleam of the enamel. Ideal as a decorative accessory, for collectors, or as an Asian-inspired jewel for bohemian or artistic looks.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.
We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.
If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
Customer service
