AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage Necklace
Handcrafted processing
Old and elegant necklace, composed of satin glass beads in opaline tones with a fusiform cut, and four Gujarat pearls of varying sizes, made of silver.
Gujarat pearls composed of a core of sealing wax and coated with silver foil, crafted using the traditional technique.
Small silver spacer beads.
Silver not hallmarked, but tested with acid and a touchstone: the red traces indicate silver (see the latest photos, thanks)
Closed-wire threading, contemporary, made with a steel wire cable.
Patina Vintage
In good condition, with obvious signs of use and age.
Oxidation spots on silver and very darkened silver due to age.
The following are highlighted:
- some scratches on the glass beads, near the opening of the through-hole and on the surface of the beads
- Depressions on the surface of Gujarat pearls (resembling dents), due to the type of processing.
- cracks on the silver surface of the pearls, with small traces of sealing wax visible.
See the latest photographs.
Imperfections are part of the use, the passage of time, artisanal craftsmanship, and the very nature of the materials.
Weight: 116.7 g
N.B.: due to the monitor settings, the actual color of the glass beads may appear different from that of the photographed images.
