These are really cool vintage black and pink 12mm cloisonné floral beads - circa 1960's. I used a pair of 8mm genuine Swarovski 5301 pink beads with rondel spacers. New fish hook findings. This set measures an overall length of 1 1/2".
Do you know the difference between true vintage cloisonné? Older vintage cloisonné is finely crafted smooth to the touch - newer wanna be cloisonné has raised ridges on the enameling. The true art has been long lost. Try to touch them when you buy them. You'll quickly learn the difference. Most of the new stuff you can actually see the ridges in the photos.
