The teal color silk threads glow in this knotted necklace/belt. The clear glass beads have been strung and knotted on silk; eight of the beads are long rectangles (1 ½” X ½”), two are round (⅝”). The clasp is a wrapped yoke, which slips over the round and rectangular glass beads securely. The overall length is 44”, and the yoke clasp may slide along the silk and beads to wear as you wish: as a long necklace, as an adjustable belt, or doubled around the neck. A lovely, unusual piece.

Chinese, early 20th century

Price: $85
