“Most pieces of older Chinese export jewelry came from the 1920’s-1940’s. This massive export continued until around 1948. NO trade with mainland China (1949-1970) = Trade with mainland China was completely shut down during this time. Late Chinese Export Jewelry (1971-1990’s) = Trade resumed with China in 1971.”
