TURQUOISE COSTUME JEWELRY NECKLACE

Chunky bead NECKLACE, turquoise color.  These 11 mm (5/8 inch) beads have lots of veining and natural type inclusions, so perhaps it is natural material that is dyed, or perhaps a good man-made composition.   The silver tone metal is not sterling and an indication that these were moderately priced beads.  Vintage costume jewelry, the necklace, strung on wire,  is 19 inches long and with the bulk of the beads probably fits like an 18 inch necklace.   Pretty, and  yours for $38.   From the estate of an art aficionado, who spent lavishly but also choose her jewelry for effect.

THICK COIL OF BLACK AND CRYSTAL BEADS *** SET ***

A grand set from yesteryear, this appears at first to be a coil of beads known as a torsade.  However closer examination reveals that this is made of individual bead units wired to a center core.... estimates are 700 to 1000 units hand wired.  Each unit is an oval black bead topped by three tiny crystal seed beads balanced at the end of the oval black.   About 7/8 inch thick and 17 inches long, this will fit closely like a 16 inch necklace.  Age is not certain, but note the unusual double wire back on the earrings, which indicates it probably dates to the first half of the 20th century.   Vintage costume jewelry in excellent condition.
