Incredible and absolutely breathtaking - definitely a one-of-a-kind artisan created flapper style necklace by Andre Balfour, Montreal, Quebec. You will never find a necklace this long and with so many options of how to wear it. This necklace was created using a variety of vintage beads from Estate necklaces. There are approximately 30 generously sized dichroic glass opal color beads - an explanation of this technique is below. Also used are small round polished genuine garnet beads, satin glass milky white small tubular beads and a combination of small round clear glass beads inset at the centre with gold. Measurements !! Exactly 150 inches !! which would be over 4 yards or 4.16 yards to be exact, or 12-1/2 feet - the possibilities are limited only by your imagination, and from this length many wonderful variations - from an extra long flapper necklace to a twisted thick and chunky multi-strand choker can be created. Included is a small gold tone hooked ring locking clasp, which is completely detachable. With this you can gather as many strands as you wish and "lock" the necklace into the desired length and position. Excellent condition, would make a wonderful gift or a lovely indulgence for yourself to enjoy for many years to come.<p>Dichroism is the property of having more than one color, especially when viewed from different angles.
