Key Features & Craftsmanship

• Each bead is individually turned. The prominent center beads showcase beautiful, distinct concentric lathe lines and tool markings near the polar ends, confirming its

historic, handmade craftsmanship.

***See photos for close-ups and UV light pictures for confirmation of organic composition.

•Highly collectible Hidden Barrel Screw Clasp carved directly into the ends. The threads screw together firmly and maintain seamless connection when worn. This style is a classic hallmark of Art Deco era craftsmanship (circa 1920s - 1940s).

***There is some age-related wear to one side of the screw clasp and a few other beads occuring along grain lines. This is viewable in photos and does not affect functionability of the clasp. It is mainly visible under bright direct light and magnification, which has been used for this listing's macrophotos.

• Polished, smooth finish with natural cream-to-light-honey color variations that only develop after decades of age.

• The strand gracefully tapers from large, dramatic focal beads in the center down to smaller, delicate beads near the clasp.

• Condition: Excellent antique condition with wear consistent with age. A couple beads show wear along grain lines, available to view in photos. Necklace retains a beautiful luster.

Please review all photos carefully to appreciate the natural grain and the hand-turned tool marks. These sale photos form part of the description.
