$58.00

This is a fun and very unusual vintage necklace.It features cotton candy pink swirly lucite round ball beads and semi translucent genuine bakelite butterscotch disc beads. Two strands with long textured gold tone metal bar spacers.

The SHORTEST strand measures 21 3/4"long. The largest pink balls measure approx. 1/2" across. There are three bakelite disc sizes which are 1"across, a tad over 3/4" and 5/8". Swirly and marvelous. I looked at this necklace with a fine tooth comb and I noticed there are a few missing beads because the symmetry of the necklace isn't exact.

And it looks like a few beads have been moved around to compensate. However, you do not miss them at all. No big deal. Sold as is and all sales final due to missing or moved beads. The necklace is in fabulous shape otherwise!

TESTED. All our bakelite is tested. We do not sell fake-a-lite.
