This art deco jadeite glass necklace features vintage glass jadeite elements with a carved floral design.  We created special open settings with enameled 'sunray' motif to showcase these striking artifacts of the past. Made 75 years ago, these pieces are from our Vintage Vault and quantity is limited: Hand burnished bronze finish. Interlocking deco bar chain. Length: 18" See model photo for scale.  Earrings also offered in this listing.

Many of my designs are based on our deep archive of antique elements, acquired when I first began Sweet Romance Jewelry Mfg. As a tribute to  fashion and cultural history, placing these elements into jewelry carries on their legacy of beauty and value that would otherwise be lost to time.

Background note...Fascination with the Orient in the 1920s and 30s spawned a fashion and decorating craze known as Chinoiserie. Our dynasty-inspired Vintage Jadeite Necklace is typical of the period. Small European and Japanese glass workshops that made elements for jewelry were closed during or just after WWII. These glass elements are from that era.
