This is an amazing vintage necklace by top of the line costume jewelry designer Gerard Yosca. The necklace has a gold chain winding between two rows of ivory colored beads of various shapes. The beads have swirls that were made to imitate the real thing. They are called ivorine - I believe. I love the added crystal or rhinestone medallion at one end that give the traditional look a modern twist and made this necklace an impressive runway piece. Signed YOSCA on the back of the medallion. The necklace is 30 inches long plus a two inch extender that allows you to wear it in three different lengths. It will look wonderful on a dark blouse. Absolutely stunning.
