Made of ceramic and handpainted in the colors of black white and yellow. Very large bold statement necklace. Excellent vintage condition with minimal wear, all seems authentic, genuine, functional, clean and ready to wear. No chips or cracks, no flaws at all that I can see. Circa 1970-80s. Unmarked treasure. Super vintage gift!

talkingfashion copied from p. 219 Warman's book: (...).."Some companies in business during the 1970s and 1980s had a novel approach to beads. They created whimsical designs of large scale and extreme colors. Parrot Pearls, Ruby Z and Flying Colors made figural or thematic centerpiece beads and then went wild the rest of the way around the necklace with single-color, striped or swirled beads (...). I just LOVED it!!
