Offered is a remarkable antique necklace featuring 14k gold beads, notable for their exceptional condition and unusually large size, a rarity in the collector's market. Gold bead necklaces of this caliber are seldom encountered, often found in gold-filled compositions or shorter choker lengths. While bead necklaces are typically strung on non-gold chain for durability, the construction method involves soldering two halves, resulting in visible patina along the seams, indicative of its age.

The largest beads I have ever seen in the 30 years in this business.
