Cinnabar Lacquer Jewellery

Cinnabar Lacquer Jewellery

I really want to show you this wonderful bangle and brooch set made of Cinnabar Lacquer. This is original  vintage costume jewellery  dating from the art deco era.  During the 1920s / 1930s this type of jewellery was quite popular but is becoming much rares and hard to find these days.

Cinnabar is a naturally occuring mineral with a brick red colour and has been used since the ancient times but it was the Chinese made these pieces which have been hand carved.
