Jewelry in mint condition after more than 50 years doesn't come along every day, but this vintage necklace has never been worn. It's from old store stock in a long-retired Utah jeweler's estate. These sensational vintage beads are a double strand. The inner strand measures 16 inches, within an outer strand about 20 inches long, for an overall look that's incredibly opulent. Obviously, the necklace would cost many hundreds of dollars if genuine, since the beads look like the finest emerald jade (not a bit sage- or olive-colored). It's possible the beads are of real jade dyed to that color -- even my jeweler couldn't tell for sure -- but more likely they're thermoplastic. Judging by weight, the 9 large ornamental golden plaques are gilded plastic; they're great pretenders, though. The pretty filigree clasp is gilt metal. There's no charge for insured U.S. shipping and gift-wrap is always free when desired. Please e-mail to confirm availability, order or request more photos. Thanks for looking! |
