this is an authentic Victorian not dyed SALMON coral pendant necklace in great condition. it is substantial approx 53cm when clasped (so wearable length almost 21"!) and approx 29g! the biggest bead is approx 5mm and the smallest approx 3mm the pendant is really big and approx 33x18mm and made of sterling silver (marked sterling) with yellow gold over. very very small % of the beads have natural pits, but no cracks to the beads or pendant! clasp works well and shows patina. I would recommend to restrung it as cord is old, also it probably was restrung many years ago - at least some parts of it. also it is a "complicated necklace":-). as you can see there are many parts of it and the festoons; the festoons can be made shorter (if you would like it) if you decide to restrung it in future. I did not want to have it restrung as I did not want to ruin original condition (at least condition it came to me:-) it does lay very comfortable when worn. please see photos as part of description. smoke free environment! fast shipping! fast priority international delivery with tracking/signature! thank you and please look at my other items!
