This necklace is made up of Chinese blue glass coil beads and little glass ornaments consisting of blue birds and petals. Estimated age of beads and ornaments from the Liao-Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368AD). The birds and petals are made of blue glass to imitate turquoise which was a much sought after semiprecious stone in those days. I speculate that the birds and petals had originally been used as buttons or hair accessories. I composed this necklace in 2005,
