DIMENSIONS
: 26"L approximately, end to end. All measurements are approximate and taken at longest/widest points.
CONDITION
: Please note this is pre-owned 1970's vintage jewelry and the necklace has been gently worn. The nacre of the glass pearls are overall well preserved with a beautiful champagne colored sheen in sunlight. There are no nicks, stripping or peeling of the nacre. The faux coral rondelle beads and green côtelé
art glass beads are well preserved with no noticeable cracks or chips. The gold gilt brass rondelle, and other accents such as the signature tag and fittings of the necklace have minimal tarnished and spots of wear. Some of the brass bead caps and seed beads are tarnished and have spots of patina. However it hardly shows and is not unsightly.   Most of the gold plating is shiny and clean.  Please note that it is the nature of brass to tarnish, hence, the brass parts have a warm Russian Gold hue which adds to the vintage charm of this beautiful necklace. The clasp fastens securely. The threading is slightly stretched, but there is no fraying. The stretched areas hardly shows.  Structurally, the necklace is in fairly well preserved vintage condition with minor flaws as mentioned above.  The necklace although vintage and over 50 years old is very beautiful and chic.  You will not be disappointed with this purchase.
NOTE: These are part of my personal collection of vintage costume jewelry by Miriam Haskell. It has been in storage for years and may need a small amount of cleaning. Most of my Haskell pieces have been gently worn, a few are unworn. I do not clean my pieces as I am not an expert and some cleaning agents can be corrosive to vintage costume jewelry.
