Unbelievable Rock Crystal And Faux Pearl Necklace

Jewelry : Vintage : Necklaces : Rock Crystal

 

This rock crystal with faux pearl necklace is one of those unbelievable pieces. I did months of research to determine if it is rock crystal or not. I believe it to be rock crystal because of this fact. Everything you look at is upside down and backwards. Also, the crystals reflect pools of light on the fabric in which the photos were taken in some of the photos. I included a photo of a strawberry magnet. It is blurry but you can see that the image is upside down. There are 150 9mm crystal beads on this necklace. The one thing that is surprising is that the faux pearls that are on the necklace are cheap beads. Perhaps the crystals were restrung. All the crystals have wire drilled into them and they are strung onto the string by the wire. The necklace has been priced according to the fact that the spheres have been drilled. Un-drilled "pools", when held up to the light, reflect beautiful colors from any light source nearby. Once drilled, that ability is lost to some degree. The crystals are in clusters of ten in between each faux pearl and each end of the necklace has ten. This piece is up for your consideration. It measures 21 inches long and weighs 5.6 ounces. I will leave the remaining details of the necklace up to the photos and the experts of rock crystal. I have not had the piece tested.
