Vintage Hand-Carved Pale Celadon Jade Melon Bead Necklace - 14K Gold Clasp

This necklace appears to be a vintage hand-knotted strand of hand-carved "melon" beads, likely made of pale jadeite jade or celadon jade. The translucency and internal structures (visible in the close-up) suggest a natural stone rather than glass or plastic. The clasp is a classic 14K yellow gold filigree fish-hook style, a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th-century fine costume and estate jewelry.  Suggested Listing Title Vintage Hand-Carved Pale Celadon Jade Melon Bead Necklace - 14K Gold Clasp • Material: Carved gemstone beads, likely Jadeite or Celadon Jade (Pale Green/Off-White). • Bead Style: Hand-carved "melon" or "pumpkin" ribbed beads, approximately 8mm–10mm in size. • Construction: Professionally hand-knotted on matching silk cord for security and drape. • Clasp: 14K Yellow Gold filigree fish-hook "pearl" clasp (Acid Tested 14K).  • Length: Approximately 26–28 inches (Double-strand measurement shows ~13.5 inches as pictured).  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition; carvings are crisp with natural inclusions and variations characteristic of genuine stone.
