Antique Graduated Carnelian and Rock Crystal Necklace with 9ct Gold Clasp and Rock Crystal Spacers

A chance to acquire a genuine Art Deco Carnelian long Flapper Necklace with a gorgeous unmarked gold barrel clasp and rock crystal spacers. Each of the 43 natural carnelians are of a rich orangey red colour, with natural colour variation, but well matched. Exquisitely cut and polished, into a rounded barrel shape, and ranging between 8mm and 20mm in length, the carnelians are strung on white silk, and separated by faceted rock crystal beads, with a small knot between each bead enabling great movement and fluidity. The carnelians are polished smooth, and graduate gently from about 8mm x 5mm near the clasp to 20mm x 10mm. The rock crystal spacers are also graduated, and the overall effect is very pleasing to both the eye and the touch. Closure is by means of a stamped 9ct gold spring ring and loop, which is in excellent working order. 

Pictures show the condition in greater detail, but generally the piece is in good order, and ready to wear.

At 93cm or about 37" in length, this is a very versatile piece enabling several combinations.
