Antique Venetian 24k Gold Wedding Cake Bead Necklace Knotted 42"

Description

Great antique necklace featuring gorgeous handmade venetian wedding cake beads heavily decorated with 24k gold foil and trailing design. One bead is cracked but intact.  Otherwise
I do not see or feel any damage, just wear typical for a necklace of this age and style including varying amounts of gold missing from many beads.     It is spectacular!
I
have not cleaned this necklace.
The stringing appears to be original and secure but this is a vintage item so the buyer should know it may last 10 more years or 10 more minutes as is the nature of vintage necklaces and it may need to be restrung.
Please view and zoom all pictures as they are part of the description.
Length is approx 42 inches long.  Beads are approx 8mm.
COMBINED SHIPPING Please use the shopping cart feature and if the shopping cart shows more than one shipping fee send me a request for total before you check out.  Not all orders can ship for one shipping fee but most can.  I am happy to work with my customers to ensure they don't overpay for shipping but I can only refund the part that is overpaid minus the fees that ebay will keep.  And sometimes I honestly just get busy and forget to refund overpayment for shipping.

Regardless of what this listing shows I nearly always ship within 2 days of receiving payment for an item.
