Vintage Mid Century Chinese Export Multi Gemstone Hand Knotted Opera Length Treasure Strand Necklace

This exquisite mid-century Chinese export treasure strand features a vibrant assortment of genuine, solid semi-precious hardstone beads meticulously hand-knotted on a rich plum-colored silk cord.

Radiating symmetrically from a prominent central carnelian focal bead, the balanced pattern displays an array of natural minerals.

The necklace showcases a beautiful mix of highly polished smooth rounds and sharp geometric faceted stones, emphasising the unique inclusions and natural textures of each authentic gem specimen.

Measuring a generous opera length of sixty-two centimetres, this piece can be worn elegantly over clothing or slipped easily over the head.

Weighing a substantial approx 70g, it possesses a luxurious, high-quality heft that confirms its hardstone composition.

The necklace is completed by a classic gold-toned spring ring clasp secured with traditional coiled wire findings, making it a well-preserved and highly collectable example of mid-twentieth-century artisan jewelry craftsmanship.
