This vintage statement necklace features two large, cloud-shaped Chinese enamel ornaments, likely inspired by the Ruyi scepter, a symbol of good fortune. These vibrant plaques showcase colorful floral and fruit motifs—such as pumpkins for prosperity and abundance—set against a cobalt blue background, with the unique detail of split burgundy wax seals applied to their surface. The ornaments are suspended from a lengthy strand of high-polished black beads (ranging from 4mm to 12mm), which also incorporate lovely blue Millefiori glass beads with pink floral designs.
The adjustable necklace is finished with a stunning drop pendant featuring a cloisonné bead and a black teardrop, and secures with ornate gold-tone toggle and hook clasps. With a versatile length of 25.5" to 32.5" with the extender, this piece beautifully combines Chinese symbolism, fine enamel work, and a sophisticated black bead design to create a bold, wearable work of art.
