A
great deal of vintage Japanese costume jewelry is very well made, far better than most
contemporary "fashion jewelry," with many pieces on par
with Coro , Trifari, Lisner. Some of the designs are often mistaken for Miriam Haskell. And why not? The artisans of
Japan, as impoverished as they were at the time, were also highly talented. Japan faux peals are
the best in the world; Miriam Haskell used them on her jewelry. Also, gorgeous lampwork and
other hand painted art glass beads and crystals were used. All these, along with moonglow beads and
hand painted plastics, acrylics with foil and aurora borealis coatings can be found in vintage
jewelry marked Japan. The fabulous color & shape combinations are
now highly sought after. |

Black & White Glass Jailbird Earrings from Japan These unusual beauties may be pre-WWII; they just seem older than the 1950s Japan imports that are usually found. They remind me of those black & white striped jail uniforms in the old time movies and cartoons. These are very jazzy and flapper-esque with black and white glass oblong beads strung with round small beads in a slatted screen style. They hang from beaded silvertone findings with the earlier, thick, screw-on mechanism. Total length is 1 5/8". Marked Japan on the base of the screw findings. Very Good+ condition. $20 |

A three strand necklace as luxurious as this one has to be yours; no one else will have the artistic mix of colors and sizes of beads on each of these three strands.

Green with swirls, rootbeer with purple swirls and purple with raspberry jam. The beads are strung in graduated sizes alongside molded clear glass sparklers. The largest beads are about 18mm. This necklace is heavy! The strands come together with golden leaves findings and fasten with a J hook at a maximum of 17 1/2" allowing you to adjust to collar or choker size. Hook is marked Japan.
