An impressive vintage necklace composed of large cobalt blue porcelain beads, each decorated in gold with traditional Chinese longevity (Shou) symbols. The rich blue glaze and gilded motifs create a bold, regal contrast that reads both decorative and symbolic.

The necklace has been recently restrung to ensure durability. Each oval porcelain bead is individually hand-knotted on deep navy cord creating graceful drape and protection of the porcelain beads. Original gold-tone clasp and decorative filigree accent bead complete the piece with an elegant finish.

Jewelry like this was often made for export in the mid–late 20th century, blending traditional Chinese symbolism with dramatic statement scale popular in vintage fashion.
