VICTORIAN AQUA GLASS BEADS SAUTOIR NECKLACE~HAND KNOTTED~LONG TEARDROP~BIG OVALS
Beautiful turn of the century pure aqua blue colored faceted glass beads sautoir necklace.This necklace features extra long teardrop shaped faceted beads accented by small round beads and large to medium sized oval beads.The necklace comes to a V at the center bottom. A huge oval bead is strung horizontally at the top part of the V and the rest of the necklace widens from that point. Very lovely and unusual design. All hand knotted between beads and strung on matching colored aqua blue silk thread. There are 3 teardrop shaped beads in this necklace which measure 1~1/4" long each. The biggest oval beads measure 18mm long. The beads are in excellent vintage condition considering the age of this necklace. There are no large chips, pits or other noticeable damage. If you study the glass closely with a loupe you may see a few very minor signs of age such as a tiny nick on one or two of the large beads but these are very tiny and quite normal for a piece this old. This does not detract from the necklace at all, but noted. There is no clasp, the necklace is plenty long to be put over the head to wear. Overall this necklace is a lovely antique piece in an especially desirable color. It would be a wonderful addition to the Victorian period jewelry collection. Measures approx 20~3/4" long with the V dropping down 3~3/4" from the top most horizontally strung oval bead.
