{"product_id":"antique-bead-necklace-46-9-2mm-14k-gold-beads","title":"Antique 14k Gold Bead Necklace, 9.2mm Hollow Beads, Invisible Bead Clasp, 16.25\", Antique Fine Jewelry","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA strand of forty-six hollow antique gold beads, generous in scale and nearly uniform from end to end. Forty-six beads in total, most measure 9.2 mm with a few that measure 8.7 mm, so the line stays bold and even all the way around the neck. Hollow construction is what makes a bead this size wearable. The strand has real presence at the collarbone without the weight solid gold beads would carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen I hunt for antique gold beads, it always excites me when I find one with this style clasp, that is invisible when worn, with a tongue closure, built to look like one more bead, so the strand reads as a single unbroken circle of gold. The clasp is marked \"14K\", and the beads test as 14k gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGold beads this large are more often found in gold-filled or plated construction. A full strand of 14k beads with its original matching clasp is a rarer find. Worn alone, it's a confident statement. Layered with a fine chain or a pendant, it anchors the look with warmth and weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e*Worth noting, the 8.7 mm 14k gold beads were added to lengthen the necklace to a comfortable length. They are dispersed throughout the necklace and do not have the bloomed (high karat gold finish) like the larger beads. It is difficult to see when worn. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDimensions: 9.2 - 8.7 mm hollow beads (46 beads in total)\u003cbr\u003eLength: 16.25\"\u003cbr\u003eClasp: Invisible bead clasp with tongue\u003cbr\u003eMetal: Tests as 14k yellow gold, strung on gold-filled chain\u003cbr\u003eCirca: 1890\u003cbr\u003eMarkings: '14K' inscribed on clasp\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 34.7 grams (gold beads weigh 34.3 grams)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: the holes of the beads show wear, some are larger than others, some minor dents in various beads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Vault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53917518004538,"sku":"NK10197","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/7398\/7898\/files\/antique-choker.jpg?v=1790883805","url":"https:\/\/petrastar.com\/zh\/products\/antique-bead-necklace-46-9-2mm-14k-gold-beads","provider":"Petra Star","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
