The creamy faux pearls, beads, and rhinestones are attached in a lovely and simple patterns, almost resembling ancient collars. For vintage collars, this one is truly unique! The piece hooks in the back. The backing is a sort of satin fabric. Tag for BAAR & Beards Japan and says hand made. For sizing I would recommend you measure your lower neck circumference. Measures about 13.5 inches long x 2 inches at the widest point Fair Vintage Condition - There is some overall wear to this piece. The biggest issue is that some of the long skinny beads in between the pearls are missing, though I have tried to reinforce them to the best of my ability. Thats not to say more wont fall off, but it feels secure for now. It does not appear that any of the pearls or rhinestones are missing. Many of the faux pearls and beads do exhibit wear: some scratches and marks to them. rhinestones exhibit wear/tarnish/cloudiness as well. Wear and markings to the fabric, thankfully most of this is on the underside, so not noticeable when worn. There are some threads found used for additional reinforcement or reattachment of beads in the past. I will do my very best packing this piece to prevent further bead loss, but note you may have to do some repairs after shipping as the item is very delicate!!!
