Japan,
Occupied Japan, Made in Japan And why not? The artisans of Japan, as impoverished as they were at the time, were also highly talented. Japan faux peals are the best in the world; Miriam Haskell used them on her jewelry. Also, gorgeous lampwork and other handpainted art glass beads and crystals were used. All these, along with moonglow beads and handpainted plastics, acrylics with foil and aurora borealis coatings can be found in vintage jewelry marked Japan. The fabulous color & shape combinations are now being sought after. It's clearly time. |

Pink &
Yellow Beaded Earrings from Japan
The assortment of beads wired onto the kidney silvertone findings of these candy colored earrings--pale peach crinkled pearls, bright peach pearls, smooth pink pearls, hot pink pearls, and yellows from pale to bright. The arrangement is given a lacy appearance with silvertone filigree bead caps on some of them. This set is a lovely example of the painstaking hand wiring that went into these Japanese imports from the 1950's. Likely there's a multistrand necklace out there that matches!

Here is an unusual Japanese Art Moderne rhinestone necklace and matching earrings. Hundreds of small chaton crystal rhinestones, all bright and sparkling, are prong-set in a rhodium plated setting. This is a high-glitz
sweetheart style necklace, sure to draw attention to the décolletage with that central dip. In the center, one strand becomes three strands of rhinestones, linked with tiny rails for flexibility. In the dip portion,
the three strand meld into one centerpiece
piece. Length is 18 1/4" with an adjustable J-hook clasp. The screw-on
earrings drop 1". Classic diamante will go with just about anything--a high necked blouse for a demure look, a low cut black evening gown for sparkling
sensuality. Signed. Excellent Condition.

Maroon Pearl &
Amber Red Art Beads Japan Triple Strand Necklace SOLD You don't have to wear this necklace--just having it is enough! But do wear it--the unlikely combo of beads and colors will melt your heart--and, of course--his. Metallic finish maroon--almost purple-- faux pearls alternate in graduated sizes with textured swirl-tone gold drizzled nougat-colored beads, golden bicone beads and clear reddish amber-colored art beads with bits of 'sugar' here and there in the gold paint. Some of these beads may be glass--they sure look like it, but it's hard to tell due to the paint. All the fancy beads all have gold tone floral caps. The necklace clasps as a nice princess length of 17," but with the extender and hook clasp you can adjust it to choker size. Excellent condition. |
