This is a truly unique piece!  Each painted oval red bead is a large 1/2" long, and the strand is 30" long to be worn full length or wrapped twice around for a double collar look.  Every other bead is painted with white stripes.  Each painted bead looks different so they may be hand-painted.  Tiny white beads space out the large red ones.  One bead near the clasp has a small spot of paint missing.  Selling from family jewelry collection.
