Condition:
All beads are ancient; clasp and cord are modern and the piece has been restrung in modern times. The stones have some minute chips and surface deposits commensurate with age but are overall in lovely condition. The gold beads have some slight deformation as they are hollow and light deposits in their lower profile areas. Overall very nice!
