American fascination for Chinese themes in ceramic objects, furniture, fashion and jewelry was inspired in the 1930s by Pearl S. Buck’s novels about China. Fashion evolved from the parody of Chinese silk brocade robes, hair sticks and khol eye liner of the earlier flapper decade to a sophistication about Chinese dynastic themes and color. The Necklace/Pin: The Magic Dragon is a stylish jewelled creature that encases a jet glass oval. Topaz and green tourmaline crystal accent this art deco composition of hand made glass beads and detachable pin. Antique bronze metal finish.
