Art Deco pink and crystal rondel bead necklace

This pretty, sparkling necklace dates from the 1930s/40s and is the embodiment of summer fun.

It features glittering beads comprising many claw set faceted crystals, ranging from a large cluster bead in the centre with three smaller beads on each side. The rest of the necklace is threaded with clear crystal bicone beads. Each crystal cluster and bicone bead is capped with a pink glass flower bead to charming effect.

The largest central bead measures nearly 23 mm across, the smallest measures 9 mm. The necklace is 45 cm long and fastens with a screw-in barrel clasp.
