They are on chain, but someone also strung some thread in with the chain a16" lond it is not tied off well at one end. There is a gap in the beads were the chain has stretched. Marked sterling on the non-locking clasp. It is 16" long. Weight: 13.8 grams. Note the holes in these beads, punched from the inside out by hand before they were soldered together. Nice early ones.
