This necklace is so tactile and so smooth. I believe the beads are glass.
The clasp is extremely attractive with it's filigree design and a quality item with a knot carefully made in between each bead.
The necklace has a measurement of 18 inches for the longest string.
I bought this about three years ago from a second-hand store.
Very nice!
What about the beads being Connemara marble?

A cautious but firm scratch test with a steel needle will say, if glass, the scratch will leave no mark!
Funnily enough I had been reading about Connemara marble jsut a couple of weeks back! Cheers for that kyra. Really appreciate all the input and info you give :)
My pleasure! Glad to be of some help :-)
I'm pretty sure it is stone, not glass, please tell us the result of the scratch test!
Hi kyra the scratch test leaves a mark :) So on that basis I think you are absolutely correct that it is Connemara marble. Have had a look at some items and they are uncannily alike. Glad I joined this site! When it come to glass or gemstones I sort of need guidance to help get to know my items better. Thanks heaps.
Aaah! That's good news! Glad to know my eye is still good ;-)
CW is a great site, a new thing to learn everyday :-D
It certainly is a good find valention97. The clasp needs addressed but thanks to kyratango I now know that the beads are Connemara marble. And to everyone ....thanks for the 'loves'.
I also like the shape of the beads:)
