    This sweet little beaded necklace has a sterling and cameo clasp. The white beads look like some type of agate and are translucent. There's a line along the right side of the cameo but it is not cracked as far as I can tell. Any ideas of age and what the beads might be? whitebeadcameo.JPG whitebeadcameob.JPG whitebeadcameod.JPG whitebeadcameoe.JPG Thanks.

    The cameo could be any time 1930s - 50s. The beads may be chalcedony, the main constituent of agate.

    You are quite welcome. Maybe someone will come along with a clearer idea of age based on construction of clasp.
