This necklace is a combination of new and vintage pieces. Circa 1960 faux pearls are mixed with twenty contemporary, gold plated skull beads. The skulls and pearls are both about the same size, 3/8 inch, or 8 mm. It has been strung on thick beading wire and both strands end in a vintage, gold plated closure component original to the necklace. A raw brass skull has been added to the large, 1 inch tongue in socket closure. It is a double strand necklace measuring 16 and 17 inches. There are twenty, gold plated skulls. Vintage faux pearls have an interesting story behind the manufacturing process, which is why we always use pearls over fifty years old in all of our pearl jewelry. They are made of blown glass that have been coated with a mixture of real, iridescent fish scales and oil, then polished down to the familiar luster that makes them so desirable.
