Necklace is 17 1/2" long. The shell beads are graduated and go from 6.9 mm in diameter to 10.6 mm in diameter. It weighs 48.9 grams. No hallmarks.
Thank you for considering used items. When you reuse, recycle and reinvent old things, you are preventing new ones from being made. When you wear vintage you not only prevent new ones from being made, you are creating a fashion look and style all of your own. You are also helping my small business and my family as well as the families of those who are always scouting out great finds for me. For that, we all THANK YOU! ❤️
