Description
Keep an iconic look of East Asian art close at hand with a stunning, hand-painted porcelain medallion. This elegant blue and white jewelry calls to mind exquisite vases from the Chinese Ming and Qing Dynasties, though it's handcrafted in the U.S.
The 1.5" diameter pendant—about the size of a typical tealight candle or silver dollar coin—is displayed on a 24-karat gold-plated chain with subtly textured links. The toggle clasp closes in the front, making it both easy to fasten and a fashionable detail. This East-meets-West design blends past inspiration with a contemporary sensibility for a unique take on blue and white porcelain jewelry.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
