Vintage Chinese Cloisonne 1970s Black Barrel Beads Pink White Flowers, Vintage Gold Faceted Crystal Beads, Gold Plated French Ear Wires These cloisonne barrel beads measure approximately 1/2" in diameter and width and are a very rare shape from the 1970s. They have incredible detail and feature pale pink flowers with red centers and delicate leaves. FYI : ◉ Cloisonne from the 1970's is always sought after since the detail and exquisite workmanship is completely different than what is being produced these days! These beads in particular are some of the more ornate ones that I was lucky enough to purchase while in Hong Kong during the late 1970s .I was designing jewelry for the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History museum shop and mail order catalogs during this time period and always looking for unusual beads - especially unusually shaped beads such as this 'barrel' shape! These earrings measure approximately 1 1/2 " long and have been finished on gold plated french ear wires - sparkling vintage gold faceted crystal beads sit top and bottom for a bit of sparkle and to compliment the gold wire of the cloisonne. These elegant earrings they will arrive gift wrapped in a little box tied with a pretty ribbon all ready for gift giving.
