Note the level of detail in the yellow oval dragon beads.[scroll to the right, the picture has two parts]

If you compare them with the specimens in the recent blog post, you will observe that some details (belly scales, chin whiskers) more closely resemble those on the salt and pepper shakers than they do the dragons in 1930s costume jewelry.

The other motifs on these yellow beads - the double fish, for example - appear on nicer cloisonne necklaces.

Anyone care to venture an opinion as to what decade these were made?
