1950s Gold Caged Red Bead Necklace

 

 

 


A simple, but truly eye-catching piece, this necklace consists of gumball-sized  red faceted glass beads with a gold filigree 'cage' around them, strung with red disc spacers between the beads. Has a hook clasp, with a faceted ball at the end of the adjustable link chain. Measures 17" end to end, the caged beads are about 3/4" in diameter, best worn at a 16" length. Unsigned and in excellent condition with a tiny bit of verdigris on the metal chain.  $75
