Chinese 19th Century Tasseled Bead Necklace

This 19th Century Chinese coral bead necklace is dramatically beautiful. Rich red coral tube, round and rondelle beads are strung with a variety of ornate silver beads.

Like most antique Chinese jewels, this necklace is so fantastically detailed you will never tire of admiring it. Circa 1870.

This wonderful Chinese necklace dates to the Qing Dynasty, China's final imperial dynasty.
