[QUOTE="stracci, post: 2171778, member: 13814"]I have a similar necklace. The beads are all strung together, no other beads or spacers. I think your beads would be strung the same way. The screw closure is carved from the "material", not plastic like yours, [USER=8708]@KSW[/USER]. My strand is still pretty white. Maybe it wasn't handled or worn much? Because it is only 16" long, I was thinking the style was more of a choker look, possibly 1950s-60s I suspect your strand is old, based on the darkened color from wear and handling over many years. In spite of the plastic screw, I still think your necklace is vintage.
