 Fabulous and a touch patriotic, this heavy 15 ¾" necklace consists of simulated pearls (glass) with cobalt glass melon and oblong drop beads, along with red and clear glass seed beads. The largest of the simulated pearls is 12mm while the largest of the cobalt is 13mm. It is strung on a thin, steel braided wire with copper tone findings and is in very good vintage condition. As you can see by our photos the wire stringing causes it to sit awkwardly when not worn, but it sits nicely on the neck. This one could be a July 4th sensation at $62.00 Item#BD 0609-101 |
