The upper neckline transitions into single-strand accent beads and fastens with a silver-tone metal double hook clasp loop. There are no metal purity markings. Please review all images. Sold as-is. Overall good vintage condition with an authentic aged patina, minor surface wear, and light tarnish on the metal wire clasp components appropriate for age and use.
