    The two smaller beads at the clasp ends are ~3/8", the 15 large ones are 7/16", the seed fillers are a little under 1/8"; weight is 1.6 oz. UV turns all these beads opaque black. I believe they are cut an' polished, rather than cast, but I'm not skilled about these things. The clasp is a sterling crab-claw. The large beads are very uniformly spaced along the string. The logo on the wee tag seems to be St G, with an arrow down through the G. The appearance is modern, mostly based on the oval tag...bwdik? More pics on demand, of course.
    I'll be grateful for whatever anyone can offer about them, or their maker. Thanks for lookin'!

    That looks more like an anchor than an arrow

    Ditto.
    Late 20th century costume, probably American, so our US joolies might know.

    Nice length at 41"... first thought was 1990s, so agree with the estimate of late 20th century.

    I have not seen that hang tag before. Did a little bit of searching online and could not find similar.

    A bit of a mystery.

    It's a religious medal, isn't it? A cross and anchor.

    You may be right, Debora...but I doubt that.

    The anchor should have curved flukes, as your example does...the hang tag vertical stroke (shank) has a v-shaped point, an' what would be the stock on an anchor seems to have been incorporated into the 2-letter abbreviation for the word 'saint'. I admit to being ignorant about all this...these are opinions an' observations only, Debora. Thanks!

    I don't know that one; it's too modern. Saint G-something? Are the findings sterling? The clasp looks right, but it may be marked on the other side of the part of the clasp that moves.

    It’s annoyingly familiar.

    Yes, it is; 925...oh, so very tiny, on the claw.
