VINTAGE SILVERTONE SMILEY FACE PENDANT NECKLACE

VINTAGE PINK ART GLASS FAUX PEARL NECKLACE (repaired)Price: S$20.00 (US$16.67)
Size: abt 53" length, 6-9mm beads
Fine - very good condition, aging on the beads. There are quite some scuffs on the faux pearl beads and their coating has worn off some, therefore the fine condition. The rest of the beads are in excellent condition. The necklace consists of entirely glass beads, with givre-glass, pink striped, opaque milk pink rounds, translcent faux pearls and clear seed beads as spacers. It has been restrung on silk cords and given new findings and spring ring clasp as the original had corroded badly. This is long enough for you to wear it 2-3 times around your neck. About 1940s or earlier.

****
VINTAGE DARK PEACH PLASTIC GRADUATING NECKLACE (repaired)
Price: S$10.00 (US$8.33)
Size: 18.5" length, 6- 16mm beads
Good condition, aging and the beads do have some darkening. The biggest bead shows signs of fine crackling from age. This is made of an unusual type of old plastic in a graduating size. It has been restrung on Fireline threads for added security with new clamshell knot covers as the old cords were dirty and lax. Screw barrel clasp is original and has patina. From the 1950s/60s.

RETRO BLACK SILVER WOODEN GRADUATING NECKLACE

VINTAGE GREEN WIREWORKED SPECKLED ART GLASS NECKLACE (repaired)
Price: S$20.00 (US$16.67)
Size: 27.75" length, 3 & 7mm beads
Excellent condition, a repaired piece. Art glass tube beads with speckles and transparent green round beads. The entire necklace had its wirework destroyed by corrosion so I redid the whole thing but keeping it exactly in the same style. It took quite some time to complete it... wasn't sure what colour the original wire was so I used a gunmetal tone (similar to ox-brass) fine wire to wrap the beads to match its age. The clasp is a silvertone screw barrel clasp and is original to the piece. Probably from the 1940s or earlier.
****
VINTAGE AB-CRYSTAL BEAD CLUSTER PENDANT NECKLACE (altered)
Price: S$18.00 (US$15.00)
Size: 24" chain, pendant 20 x 35mm including loop
Good condition with aging, the chain and pendant are not originally together. Chain is a skinny width with connectors and has signs of wear and some darkening on goldtone. The pendant is made of ab-crystal beads wired into a cluster; I added vintage bead caps to enhance it. It has some scuffs and aging on the beads too. Both are vintage items, the chain is likely from the 70s and the pendant from the 50s.
