These are really cool vintage cloisonne oval beads - circa 1960's - they are not a color changing more of a gradient color that shifts around the bead. The color runs from an ocean blue to sea green.  Only set I could make - small 3mm genuine jade beads with vermeil spacers - sterling. New lever back findings - if you would prefer fish hooks just ask and I'll change them out. This set measures an overall length of 2".  I make most of my earrings now with the lever backs because I'm doing more trunk shows and they don't fall off the displays when moved.

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.
