RARE Vintage Italian Designer Missoni Sterling Silver Necklace in Original Box

Description: This is a RARE vintage Sterling Silver pendant necklace that is by Italian designer Missoni, and it's in its original box with a matching jeweler's bag. The necklace has five Sterling Silver pieces that are strung and slide on black cording and there is a black colored plastic cube bead at the top of it and real stone beads at the bottom of it that are Malachite, Amethyst, Lapis, Tiger-eye, Carnelian and Onyx. This design is like the zig-zag fabric designs they are so famous for. All silver pieces have stamped markings on them, that appear to be French. They are really tiny and hard to see, one looks like a small Crab marking, which is a French silver mark, and the other mark looks like a French signature marking that I was not able to identify, it starts out the letters "Ste," then has what looks like a Cat-tail plant and then the letters "Om" (see photo's). The necklace in good used condition: the stone beads are not chipped or cracked, and the metal has an old patina that has happened with age & wear that could be polished if one desires, and the cording is not broken or frayed. Please note: the box does show some outer wear & the lid was taped back on. The pendant of the necklace measures approximately 3 1/2 inches tall from top of the black cube bead to the bottom of the stone beads, by 1 3/8 inches wide from side to side and the cording is about 26 inches around, and just goes over ones head to be worn.  Total weight of the necklace is 64.6 grams.
