Category: Vintage Faux Pearl Beads - Vintage Beads - A Grain Of Sand
Special Deal Price!!! 6mm faux pearls knotted and finished with a stunning silver toned filigree box clasp at a 15" length. We estimate these simulated pearl necklaces to be circa 1950. A few of these neckaces have the origninal tags but most did not. The tag says Glasstique by Richeliieu - "Lifetime Guarantee of Quality. . . If properly cared for, these Richelieu Simulated Pearls are guaranteed not to peel, crack or lose their beautiful color." These are in mint uncirculated condition and if the original company was still in business, I’m sure they would honor the guarantee. Richelieu was founded in New York in 1911 and purchased up by Lisner Corporation in the 1990’s. Great addtion to any costume jewelry collection.

Category: Vintage Faux Pearl Beads - Vintage Beads - A Grain Of Sand
These 4mm round faux pearls were found amongst old designer stock from the 40’s in mint condition with tags that say "made in Japan". They are strung with bead tips on the ends. We aren’t sure if their original design was for a small child or if the bead tips would connect to another jump ring with other beads to get a finished length more appropriate. You can add these pearls to other pearls, attach two of them together with perhaps a vintage crystal focal between the strands or take them apart and use in some other unique creation of yours. In any case, these are a super value and make a great addition to any design with vintage style.
