Item Details
This vintage Original By Robert multi-strand necklace has a classic look! There are 24 strands of the shimmering, gold colored seed beads, all set between two strands of black beads. The snap-inn box clasp features a round metal design with a black cabochon. This necklace is a great fit with today's multi strand, multi length styles.
Measurements: As worn, it is 22 inches long when clasped. There are two strands of medium sized black faceted beads, 19 and 23 inches long. The seed bead strands vary slightly in length between the two black beads. The necklace weighs about 5.5 ounces.
Condition: The strands are in very good vintage condition. There is fading the gold tone on the clasp and findings attached to the clasp. The beads are strong on a metal wire, so are able to take the weight of the beads. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the description.
Marks: The cartouche says "Original By Robert."
The company began in 1942 as the Fashioncraft Jewelry Company, then changed its name to Robert Originals, Inc. in 1960. Earlier Robert jewelry is similar in design to Miriam Haskell jewelry, using a lot of nature motifs and incorporating Austrian crystal beads, glass, and faux pearls into elaborate designs and filigree metalwork. He later became famous for his enamel figural jewelry, too. Robert supplied jewelry to the movie and television industry. The company ceased ongoing operations in 1979.

Return Policy
You may initiate a return of this item within 14 days of delivery. More DetailsShipping, Handling, Insurance Policy
Shipping and insurance charges vary with the weight of the item, its destination and the type of shipping used. Insurance is included for most BUT NOT ALL countries. I will notify you if insurance is not available, The majority of my customers chose for their packages to be shipped via USPS Ground Advantage; but Priority is always an option for an additional fee.WE COMBINE SHIPPING FOR PURCHASES - typically $2.00 is added for each additional jewelry item, based on the highest item. For non jewelry items, weight and package size determines final shipping charge. I adjust combined shipping manually, so please wait for a revised invoice before paying. Orders are carefully packed and typically shipped within one business day.
IN THE RARE CASE OF SHIPPING LOSS OR DAMAGE, YOU MUST COOPERATE WITH INSURANCE CLAIM PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A REFUND, PER RUBY LANE AND INSURER POLICIES. I pay return postage only if the item has been inadvertently misrepresented beyond normal "vintage" wear.
FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS ONLY:
I am a traveler and love my international customers! We may be unable to complete purchase orders, however, to locations where insurance is unavailable and/or the shipping address cannot be confirmed. In either of those cases, you assume the risk of damage and/or loss. In fifteen years, I have had three international orders not delivered. Please keep in mind that delivery time frames are out of my control. Priority rate shipping is expensive but can shorten delivery time.
The postal rate for International First Class packages is the same price up to eight ounces, so three or even four small jewelry items may ship for the same cost as one item. Over 8 ounces, the increased price stays the same up to 32 ounces! Ask me for an estimate. For insurance (and US law) reasons, I must use the actual dollar amount of the purchase on the customs form; any duty or other home country charges are your responsibility.
IF YOU USE A USA SHIPPING SERVICE or a THIRD PARTY SHIPPER: The shipper's address MUST be shown on your PayPal account. My insurance and return policy covers delivery or damage to your shipper only. In the event of non-delivery, your shipper MUST comply with my insurance provider's requests for documentation. Once the package is delivered to your Third Party Shipper or Service, there is NO refund or insurance available through me for any reason because the package has left my control (both in terms of damage or delivery).
