Vintage Japanese Frit Milk Glass and Genuine Garnet Multi-Strand Necklace
This stunning triple strand necklace features amazing frit glass oval beads, most likely these beads are Japanese and were made in the Cherry Brand factory. They are approx. 1" long milk glass ovals with pink splotches and bands of heavy gold and red frit. Each bead is separated with two genuine faceted deep red garnets. The three strands meet at a large filigree silver tone bead cap. The adjustable portion if the necklace is fluted milk glass beads with a J-hook closure. I believe at some point in time this necklace was remade from the original, using garnets to replace what was originally milk glass spacer beads. The garnets add a richness and elegance to the necklace. Please note these garnets are genuine and quite gorgeous. The necklace is adjustable to 20" and does have some weight.
