    This strand is made of cloisonne' disk beads with holes drilled such that each bead lays on the edge of the one before. Terrible description, no? Is there a name for this style? And, any idea of age? The clasp appears to be gilt brass with a floral wire applied to the filigree top. Unfortunately, the "tongue" of the clasp is stuck inside as the thumb latch broke off.

    I appreciate your thoughts!

    I know nothing about cloisonne, but is that clasp a Chinese export one?

    Yes, it is, and it is a Chinese export necklace with cloisonné disc beads.
    I don't know what the style is, except 20th century.:shy:
    Overhere disc beads were popular from 1930-1960, give or take. But I think this necklace could be a bit later.

    Thanks, ladies! I did realize it's Chinese, just forgot to say. So, disc is an acceptable term? I appreciate the input.

    I’d throw cloisonné “coins” in for shits and gigs. Might attract extra eyes.
