I bought this amazing necklace years ago from a woman who told me it had been her aunt's favorite ornament for going to the opera. Imagine it glittering as the lights went up ... Thousands of gold glass seed beads drape you in Cleopatra-worthy glory, punctuated by black and red faience--the contrast is really striking.

In excellent condition. I can't find any flaws, but there may be some little thing I've missed.

From a nonsmoking, pet-loving home.
