It measures 2 3/8” with the bail by 1 7/8”.
The necklace is chain beaded with early hand soldered bench beads or “hogans”. They are 8.2mm and 11.6mm in diameter. The holes were punched out from the center out before each bead was hand soldered together. Necklace is 24” long. Weight: 83.9 grams. Original patina. One of a king rustic piece!
Thank you for considering used items. When you reuse, recycle and reinvent old things, you are preventing new ones from being made. When you wear vintage you not only prevent new ones from being made, you are creating a fashion look and style all of your own. You are also helping my small business and my family as well as the families of those who are always scouting out great finds for me. For that, we all THANK YOU! ❤️
