Rare Chinese Export Parure Turquoise Jewelry Set -Original Box

Description

Rare Chinese Export Parure Turquoise Jewelry Set -Original Box. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class. This Chinese export Full Parure is a very Rare complete set in original box. The set includes Necklace-Bracelet-Brooch(pin) & Clip Earrings. All pieces are in very good previously owned condition for the age. They are knuckle bone Chinese turquoise beads and each are hand knotted with color coordinating thread. The clips on earrings work great and are tight. Pin back in same condition and working great. Both clasps on necklace and bracelet close tightly and stay connected. They have the button release mechanism. Workmanship on metal is remarkable. The backs on the necklace & bracelet are stamped Silver. I have not tested metal so don’t know if it’s sterling or not and I have not cleaned the set so the natural patina is still there which shows maybe a light gold color on silver but I do not test. Beautiful set! The box is lined with silk inside both top & bottom. The silk on inside of box has fraying where the pin & earrings were attached over & over. The outside is in good condition but the silk on some corners has frayed over the years but considering the age not that bad. Included photos showing the wear.
