This is one of many necklaces purchased at a higher end jewelry estate sale. It is brown and gold in color and has a wonderful shin to the beads.
There are 57 beads measuring from about 1/4 inch, gradually increasing in size to about 1/2 inch. Each brown bead has marbling colors of deep red rust, gray, and butterscotch swirling within. Interspersed with the brown beads are round shaped metal gold beads measuring about 3/16ths of an inch. I am not sure of the material of the brown beads but I'm guessing they are marble.
With the necklace unclasped, it measures 24.5 inches end to end including the clasp. The clasp is the push in type.
There are no markings or signature to help determine an exact age, but it looks to be possibly 1970s to 1980s. Estate sales offer wonderful vintage jewelry, but the problem is that there is usually no one to verify certain aspects of the pieces.
Buyer to pay $5.95 USPS First Class Mail Parcel shipping charges. Shipping is from Nevada.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
