A
great deal of vintage Japanese costume jewelry is very well made, far better than most
contemporary "fashion jewelry," with many pieces on par
with Coro , Trifari, Lisner. Some of the designs are often mistaken for Miriam Haskell. 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 hand painted art glass beads and crystals were used. All these, along with moonglow beads and
hand painted plastics, acrylics with foil and aurora borealis coatings can be found in vintage
jewelry marked Japan. The fabulous color & shape combinations are
now highly sought after. |

Hand
Painted Porcelain Book Chain Bracelet
Unique and rare, this great Victorian Revival bracelet will make wonderful wear for an especially feminine look, with a lawn gown for old fashioned beauty, or to dress up blue jeans and a jacket with a dash of femme! The golden book chain style setting offers elongated porcelain ovals, each hand painted with wild pink roses, blue forget-me-nots and green foliage against a background of pink and yellow glazes. The brush marks and slight differences in each panel, alternating with smaller round coronet set hand painted cabs, shows that each was painstakingly done by an artisan. The findings and overall construction of this beauty appears to date to the 1950s, and I suspect the bracelet is a Japanese import, though there are no markings. But I have seen enough hand painted china from this era out of Japan--usually beads-- to justify my guess. The bracelet is 1 5/8" wide and fastens at 7 1/8" with a wide foldover clasp. Condition is Very Good+. Enjoy this beautiful hand painted porcelain bracelet! $68
