Thank you again, Gila! You have got me excited.
So, with the auction site of the other (identical necklace) starting the listing at $1200, I wonder if that would also work for me...
I concur!
Thank you, Holly. I appreciate all input. I don't think I need to test it, now that I know it's the same necklace as the one Galeria showed above....
You are brilliant, Galeria. It is the same necklace. And my client told me she thought it was Tiffany's, but I didn't pay it much mind, since...
Wow, Galeria. That necklace you've shown here really does look the same. Thank you for the links. I'm on my way.
Thank you!
Here is what I think is a pretty lovely, multi-strand choker of small hematite beads. At 17" in length, it weighs a hefty 5.6 oz, or 168 grams....

These started yesterday at 9.99. With only two bidders they went up to 146.50 overnight. I'm so pleased. Thank you again, all, for weighing in!

Interesting. I realized I should be researching these in my GEMSTONES OF THE WORLD. There I found a strand that looks pretty much identical to...
I learned last night that it was the owner's husband who bought. At Tiffany's.
I neglected to show the entire string. There is such a variety of stones. No two appear to be the same. [IMG]
I was surprised to find that they're not knotted. Especially in that the owner had them restrung after buying them. From my experience, I...
Here is what (to me) is a very impressive string of jade—or jadeite—beads, purchased at Laurel House Antiques (consignment shop) in Marin County,...
Yes, it's a shame there is no receipt, alas.
I like the quote, af! But, hmmm. It seemed to work some years ago when I sold a large antique Staffordshire transferware collection. I got good...
Update: I just heard from my client that she purchased these at Tiffany's 20 - 25 years ago. So I plan to use that in the listing. I like to...
Thanks. I thought so too. But I would not like to get it wrong!
