"A CHINESE QING NECKLACE OF CARNELIAN AND CLOISONNE COURT BEADS W/ SILVER CLASP"

1) Not Qing, probably circa 1970s? I keep trying to find iron-clad evidence that these cloisonne beads were produced in the 1920s-30s, but it just isn't showing up. So certainly not 19th century.

2) Not the style of cloisonne used in court necklaces (intricate twisted wire floral patterns with touches of mostly blue enamel)

3) Not "court" beads - hasn't Frederick stated several times that melon beads were not used in mandarin court necklaces?

(eBay, of course)

Still, an interesting necklace, so who cares, I guess.
