It measures 23 ˝" long and the conic beads are ľ" by ˝" wide. Very good vintage condition…please note that it has been restrung on filament and the stringing is tight. You might need to adjust the beads when you first put them on, but it is fine to wear. $48.00 Item#BD 0504-056 View a close-up of the beads
