Gorgeous Jade and Lapis Lazuli Vintage Necklace
Wonderful combination of light watery and deep shades of green off-set by the regal royal blue of Lapis Lazuli stone. The Jade has been tested electronically.
The entire necklace is hand made including the beads which have a satiny finish. Small accents of silver tone metal beads, likely low grade silver. They are not plated.
The necklace starts with a single row of light green Jade Heishi beads (small tubular shapes). A round Lapis bead followed by an elongated Jade and another Lapis marks the beginning of the triple strand portion of this watery design. The triple strand portion then becomes a series of graduated Jade saucer shaped beads which forms the center piece. It is a beautiful ethnic style and was likely made in the Far East.
Measures 24 1/2" long overall. The largest bead at the center is almost 11/16" in diameter.
Dates from the 1970s, closes with a hook and eye type of clasp and is in perfect vintage condition.
