Vintage Chinese Cloisonné Butterfly Pendant Necklace with Black Beaded Strand and Tassel

This is a vintage statement necklace featuring a large, circular cloisonné enamel pendant. The pendant depicts a nature scene with two butterflies—one in orange/yellow and one in blue/yellow—alongside red-capped mushrooms and floral accents against a deep forest green ground. The cloisonné work utilizes thin gold-toned wire to create the intricate cells (cloisons) that hold the colorful enamel pastes. The central medallion is suspended from a strand of polished black spherical beads, likely onyx or high-quality glass, interspersed with greenish-black semi-translucent accent beads. The necklace is finished with a traditional long black textile fringe tassel at the bottom and a gold-toned clasp at the neck. The craftsmanship reflects mid-to-late 20th-century Chinese artisanal styles, often exported to Western markets. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the enamel, though minor surface scratches and slight fraying of the tassel may be present upon closer inspection. The use of vibrant floral and insect motifs is characteristic of traditional Chinese decorative arts intended to symbolize longevity and joy.
