Large Gold Chain and Drop Bead Bib Necklace$64.99
This necklace is large and gaudy. It is a warm-gold metal. The gold double cable, smooth chain measures 18 inches long. The hollow bead dangles measure 1.75 and 1.25 inches.
The hollow metal ball charms have a smooth gold texture to them and have been double plated at least. The gold plating is still in excellent condition. It closes with it's original lobster claw clasp.
This metal necklace is circa 1950 and made by a high end costume jewelry maker of the time. The first half of the 20th century was the heyday for well made costume jewelry sold from fine department stores to Woolworth, usually made in Europe or the United States. The manufacture and quality of costume jewelry deteriorated in the latter part of the century making this era the last with enduring products.
