Costume Necklace, Vintage

From the attic of treasures in a box marked 1950's costume jewelry, this is a very unique and well made piece of costume jewelry that was purchased at Sak's Fifth Avenue in NY in the 1950's by my grandmother. She loved their costume jewelry and has many wonderful pieces that were found in her attic all marked and dated. This one is particularly special and fun. The length of the actual design is 9 inches and the entire piece measures 19.5 inches long.
