This is a pretty vintage turquoise mosaic beaded necklace. It is very heavy!
Not sure of it's origin. Possibly Tibetan. Chinese. I am unsure of it's age, but
I have had it for nearly 30 years. I do believe it is much older than that. The beads
are graduated in size. Knotted in between each bead. There is a metallic string
wrapped around some of the knots. (Some of this metallic thread has become
unraveled, but he knots are intact.) There is a toggle type silver tone clasp.
Please look at all photos and make your decision accordingly. Selling as is.

Length: 21" end to end
Weight: 96.9 grams
Beads: Range in size from approximately 18mm down to 13mm
Condition: ---There is wear to the some of the beads. ---Some of the beads have what look to be age cracks.

Vintage Early Plastic Bead Necklace - 18 In. - Yellow - Knotted - Sterling Silver Flower Clasp
This is a vintage yellow early plastic bead necklace. The beads are knotted in between and are graduated in size. Early plastics are not my area of expertise. I am not sure what type of plastic this is. The beads look like they are molded and not carved. I can see seams on some of the beads. Some of the beads look worn and I can see what looks like age cracks in some of the beads. They have a shimmer to them and a marbled look. Judging from the string used and the sterling silver flower clasp, I would say these date to the 1930s or 1940s. Possibly a very early form of moonglow beads. Please look at all photos and make your decision accordingly. Selling as is.
Measurements:
Length: 18"
Weight: 27.4 grams
Condition:
---There is wear to the beads.
---Some of the beads have what look to be age cracks.
