Genuine antique Victorian black beaded applique 2 piece collar. The black glass beads are strung on black thread the attached to an underlying heavier black cord to give it form and weight. This is done in the true Victorian fashion. Each of the 2 pieces measure approx. 17" at the widest to 8" at the narrowest, which would be the top shoulder. You are buying this as is, there are some missing beads, but all in all a very beautiful collar. Please view all photos.
