ANTIQUE Vaseline GLASS NECKLACE LARGE BEADS Dutch Moon Beads Opal Opalescent OLD
ABOUT THIS ITEM

Description

This distinctive antique necklace features genuine Vaseline glass beads, historically known as Dutch Moon Beads or sometimes referred to as opaline or opalescent glass. These unique beads were traditionally crafted in Holland and Venice for trade in Africa.

The necklace's antique status is supported by the clasp, which exhibits considerable age consistent with items over 100 years old. The beads are noteworthy for their unusually large size and remain in good condition, especially considering their antiquity.

Key Details:

  • Necklace Length: 42cm (16.5 inches)
  • Number of Strands: One
  • Bead Size: Approximately 17mm in width
  • Clasp Type: Spring Ring clasp

Condition:

  • Beads: Displays some minor marks and scratches, consistent with an item of this age.
  • Clasp: Shows tarnishing, which is expected for its antiquity.
  • Stringing: Slight fraying observed near the clasp.

This unique piece would make a valued addition to any collection of antique jewelry or historical glass, and a thoughtful gift.
