Buyer's premium:

A single-strand beaded necklace presenting an East Asian aesthetic, likely vintage or antique. It is comprised of approximately 30 large, spherical beads with a glossy, light yellow-green (celadon) finish, appearing to be ceramic or glass. Each bead is individually knotted on a visible, possibly pinkish-brown or purple-hued cord. The beads are decorated with a repeating metallic (likely gilt or bronze-colored) geometric motif, clearly identifiable as the stylized Chinese character ‘壽’ (shòu), which translates to “longevity” or “long life.”
