    I finally decided to tackle the huge box of repair jewelry today & get it ready to go out the door. :joyful::joyful:

    I ended up with 16 1/2 lbs. of assorted stuff all packed into a large flat-rate Priority box. :jawdrop::jawdrop:

    This necklace was in the box & I had no recollection of ever putting it there. :confused::rolleyes::rolleyes::p

    It is 15 1/2" end to end & the beads are about 7 mm. However, the clasp is not in good condition at all.

    Do you think it will sell on its own for restringing or should I just include it with the 16 !/2 lbs. of other stuff? :happy:

    Suggest you just include it. It would take soo much work to restore and someone younger will be very excited to find a "treasure" hidden in the box.

    Can even label what it is so they don't miss it! :)

    A little tough to tell in these darker/smaller photos but the last photo with the internal (?) crack on the clasp bead make me think...glass? I'm not seeing a coral texture either, but maybe you see it better in person. Or is "angel skin coral" also a term for a type of glass bead? :cyclops:

    I think it's a cute necklace. I love decorated box clasps. Agree it's probably better than bulk repair jewelry, but idk if it's special enough to be worth selling on it's own. Maybe in a small lot with other style-appropriate pieces?

    Thanks for pointing out that damage. :happy:

    I hadn't even seen the crack in the clasp bead. In the box, it goes!! :p:p

    I think it's glass too, and not coral.

    Yesterday I went through some of the random bags of misc. pieces in the top drawer of a 7-drawer plastic cart. I found enough stuff in that drawer to fill a cafeteria-sized tray which is how I photographed the rest of the stuff. I am sure the box will be well over 17 lbs. when I add this to it tomorrow.

    It ended up weighing 18 lbs. 11 oz. in a USPS large flat rate box.

    Several years ago I got a stack of cafeteria-style trays at the GW & I used 1 of them to take photos. I filled 1 of them 6 times the other day when I was taking photos & likely would have done it on the 7th time but I got lazy. The one I did yesterday filled the tray again. The inner portion of the tray measures 16" across by 12" top to bottom.

    I am going to try to get it listed tomorrow & am planning on listing it as an auction with a fairly low starting bid.
