These are the tiniest genuine seed pearls I have ever seen actually strung on a necklace. Probably one of the most feminine necklaces from that period too. These have a Georgian period 1kt gold ( marked) open metal work fancy clasp that is really well made. We think these may have been for a child or a very small neck woman. The photos don?t show you how delicate and tiny they are, but if you look at the photo next to a dime you can see they must be on thread as fine as angel hair. This is the case we got them in and it is from a NY gold manufacturer. The length of these rare and beautiful pearls is 16". These are so well made that when you drape them over your wrist to show someone they hang like a silken metal chain. There are well over 900 pearls on this as well. Truly a rare piece that belongs in a museum
