SELLER'S NOTE: This is a very vivid and exceptionally opalescent, Maireener Shell necklace, estimated to be from the late Victorian or Edwardian era. This necklace is 13 1/2" long with shells that measure 7mm x 4mm on average. These shells are tiny and delicate but still have quite an impact because of their vibrancy and color. The shells are not faded or dried out at all. The color is a very opalescent green with bright shimmers of pink and lighter green. The piece closes with a nice push barrel clasp that works smoothly and closes securely and the necklace is strung on cotton string. The piece was recently restrung but the strand is original. The shells are all intact without any chipping or breaking on any of the shells and they are very silky smooth to the touch. Overall this is a very vivid and exceptionally opalescent, Maireener shell necklace, estimated to be from the late Victorian or Edwardian era that is in Excellent condition......
