Vintage Javanese Blue & Yellow Melon Shape Bead Necklace
This gorgeous necklace was created by Indonesian artist Devi Tana Hariman in the 1980s. The graduated hollow metal beads are gilded brass inspired by the ancient jewelry of Java. The necklace also has translucent yellow and blue glass beads shaped like melons, beautiful blue lampworked beads streaked with gold, and small round opaque blue glass beads. The artist collected antique beads from around the world for use in these creations, inspired by the royal jewelry of ancient Java. The necklace is unused, in the artist’s batik-print box, just as it was purchased by members of the U.S. diplomatic corps in Jakarta in 1989.
Necklace measures 20-1/2 inches long.
