Blue and white porcelain has been beloved for centuries. This wearable version is from the 1960s–1970s.
Flat blue-and-white Chinese export porcelain beads painted with Chinese characters, separated by navy blue oval spacer beads on a single strand with S-hook clasp. Possibly handmade. At 30 inches it sits at a classic length, and the chinoiserie palette works year-round — particularly beautiful with a crisp navy-and-white summer outfit. No damage to any beads; note that the strand curves slightly rather than laying flat, but looks perfect when worn.
A lovely gift for the chinoiserie lover, the porcelain collector, or anyone who builds their home and wardrobe around the same considered aesthetic.
