There is verdigris (green oxidation) present on many of the brass bead caps throughout the necklace. While the glass beads themselves remain vibrant and structurally sound, some of the foil-infused beads show minor surface wear to the raised decorative scrolls. The barrel clasp is functional but shows age-related patina.
I aim to please, and describe every item to the best of my ability. But please note that my vintage items often received frequent use back in their day, so may show visible signs of wear and age. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way, as I treasure those marks of the past.
