Chinese red vase

I bought the sweet pendant in this necklace in a shop in New York and had it for years. I also had the tiny red beads.  When they happened to be next to each other on my inspiration table it became clear what needed to happen.  I wanted the result to be elegant and vintage Chinese looking.  This is not a heavy piece but has all the drama.

Silver pendant from China, tiny vintage "white hearts" (red) beads. Vintage African trade beads.
