eBay item 292346641430 offers an extravagant necklace and bracelet set in the style attributed to Miriam Haskell, featuring a green version of this bead.

You may recall a prior post about a red version boxed as an obidome.

A blue version is in the Ornament photo for the Collectible Beads book chapter on China.

Neither Haskell nor obidome: Just clever attempts to turn -tacky but collectible- beads into money.

It's been on offer for months now...

It really seems over the top, even for Haskell pieces.

But where did someone assemble all the period findings, let alone the pile of dragon disc beads?

And what about those funky little white and turquoise "noodle" beads apparently combined to imitate white coral or shell ... or something?

Note the same little wound glass beads and brass ball dangles.

Frankly, I have a hard time imagining anyone thinking that wearing this would be attractive

BTW, does anyone recognize those stubby little white and turquoise glass beads?

Could they be Japanese?
