Vintage Chinese Carved Carnelian Melon Bead Necklace 24"
This exquisite vintage Chinese necklace features hand-carved carnelian beads in a traditional melon shape. In Chinese culture, the melon or pumpkin motif is a powerful symbol of "subterranean wealth" and family unity, often representing a wish for many children and a long, prosperous lineage. These graduated beads transition from 10mm to 13mm, showcasing the deep translucency of the stone. Metaphysically, carnelian is known as a stone of motivation, endurance, and courage. It is believed to stimulate creativity and provide the wearer with a surge of energy and leadership qualities. This piece dates to the mid-20th century, representing the high-quality artisanal export jewelry of the era.
The necklace measures approximately 24.75" long. The graduated beads range from 10mm to 13mm in size. It features a vintage gold-tone filigree clasp.
