So pretty and unique! This is a vintage shell necklace that is reversible! It is a big chunky piece that makes quite a statement. Large ovals and a teardrop create this piece. One side is glowing white mother of pearl shell. The other side has a black background and is set with a mosaic of abalone shell. Lovely glowing peacock shades are so pretty! This is finished off with a silver toned chain. Pretty piece for an elegant, mermaid bohemian look! Condition: Great vintage condition, vintage patina Measurements: 18" - 20" long; center piece 3.67" or 93.21 mm long Weight: 54.2 grams Please examine enlarged photos for details. Much more beautiful in real life. I am not an expert on vintage jewelry, but I do buy and sell what I love! Since these items are vintage, they may have a wonderful aged patina and are not meant or expected to look brand new. I treasure their imperfections as part of their charm and history. ***** Properties: Sea shells are all part of a living ecosystem. They consists of calcium carbonate and grow in the ocean. Abalone shell has the colors of the sea from green, blues and purples. They are soft to the touch from tumbling in the sand and water. They have a ripple pattern to them which reminds me of the waves lapping onto the sand.
