AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage necklace
Handcrafted

Old multi-strand necklace, composed of ten strands of small cylinder-cut lapis lazuli beads and tubular intercalating elements made of silver.
Clasp made of silver.
Silver not hallmarked, but tested with acid and a reference stone: the red traces indicate silver (see the last photographic images, thank you).
Terminal beads made in low-grade silver (or silver-plated metal?), worked in relief with decorative granulose motifs.
Contemporary stringing

Vintage patina
In good condition, signs of wear and age.
Areas of silver oxidation and silver very darkened by time.
Contemporary stringing.
Any imperfections are part of use, time, artisanal workmanship and the natural character of the stones.
