[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 398525, member: 2844"]I think it is Chinese, and the eyes are turquoise or imitation turquoise. Lovely piece. There is a similarity between cloisonné in a wide geographic band from Russia through to China because of the Silk Road. Which means your swan could also be Central Asian. A lot of older cloisonné attributed to China was actually made in Uzbekistan, which was part of Russia and the USSR for a while.[/QUOTE]
