A beautiful example of classic Chinese export porcelain, this long opera-length necklace features round blue-and-white beads decorated with the traditional Shou symbol of longevity. The repeating hand-painted motif wraps each bead in deep cobalt against a white porcelain ground, creating a timeless pattern that has been favored in Chinese decorative arts for generations.

Measuring an impressive 34 inches, the necklace can be worn long, doubled, or layered for a bold statement look.

The beads have been recently restrung and individually hand-knotted on navy cord, restoring the necklace’s graceful drape while protecting the porcelain from contact and wear. A gold-tone clasp with a small decorative filigree accent completes the piece.

A striking and wearable example of symbolic Chinese porcelain jewelry that pairs beautifully with both modern and vintage styling.
