Size: 48 x 38mm excluding bail, 24" chain
Glass pendant with a very detailed drawing of a kingfisher rewarded with a catch!
Note this piece has some flaws, there is a portion of white at the left edge, this is due to the aging of the varnish turning yellow (darker than what the picture shows). This makes the white glass parts which were not varnished obvious. The varnish also has slight bubbling. Prong-set.

Aging on the clasps; the new green glass pearls which were added by me as the old ones had flaked off. The glass beaded strand with long twist beads are restrung with wireworking, also shuffled the strands to about 2 strands per loop. The translucent white beads were originally pearl beads.

VINTAGE SIGNED ORANGE BEADED NECKLACE (altered jewellery)
Price: S$12.00 (US$10.00)


Size: 20.5" (shorter strand) 23" (longer strand) adjustable, 17mm largest bead.
Signed 'Hong Kong' on the J-hook. The beads are on a cotton cord (no restringing done). The bead ends as you noticed are a different colour from the orange beads as these are added by me. They are glass brown pearls and matches the brown on the swirl translucent beads. Otherwise, the entire necklace is made of plastic beads. Another altered part is the textured light yellow beads, these were originally 'orange peel' textured beads that flaked off so I removed the coating to reveal the light yellow base. It has some yellowish stain from the orange dye (see photos) but whole necklace is still very wearable and in good vintage condition.
