ANTIQUE CHINESE EXPORT BLUE ENAMEL GILT BEAD STATION NECKLACE

Seven graduated gilt metal beads covered in sky-blue and cobalt enamel are spaced along textured paperclip-link chain, with the largest bead as the centerpiece. The raised, openwork-style gilt overlay on each bead gives it a lantern-like depth. A matching enamel-topped oval clasp finishes the piece. This is a classic Chinese export design from the early 20th century, and its warm gilt tones and rich blues look striking against skin or dark knits. * MATERIALS: Gilt metal (silver content not verified), blue and cobalt enamel * ERA: Circa 1920s-1930s * MAKER/MARKS: Unmarked, Chinese export style * CONDITION: Very good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear, including minor enamel loss and soft patina on some beads, consistent with its age
