Size: 54", 8mm beads
Earrings: 22mm
In good-very good condition. Aging and wear on the clasp. Please expect minor wear on the crystal beads of the necklace under close inspection, it is not obvious when worn. The earrings are in good condition, though with more obvious wear & aging than the necklace & they have slight traces of green rust which I've removed most of; not noticeable when worn. They are clip-on earrings. Aurora borealis crystal beads with clear bicone beads; this set may be a married set (items not from the same source) but I found them with the same stash.

VINTAGE GERMANY FRUIT-COLOURED MULTISTRAND NECKLACE (repaired)
Price: S$45.00 (US$34.99)
Status: Available


Size: 15.75" - 17" adjustable (shortest strand), 6 - 13mm beads
Signed 'Germany'. Very good condition, minor aging on the beads turning slightly dull. This is a repaired necklace with new cotton cords as the old ones had aged & slacked too much, every bead is in original placement. Made of plastic faceted beads in peach, light lemon yellow, pale green and dark yellow in graduating sizes, pretty colour combination and looks better in person. The clasp areas are in great condition and appears to be rhodium-plated, J-hook clasp. Since the mark is 'Germany' rather than 'West Germany' this piece would probably be pre-WWII, so a safe guess will be 1940s-1950s.
