A beautifully beaded necklace in a soft jade 26" single strand with large focus bead in the front. Bead is 1-1/2" with an oriental knot design. This came from an estate and the information received with it described it as an oriental jade necklace with vintage "obi" bead. There are matching pierced wire earrings to go with this. Very pretty. The 3rd picture is truer to the color than the other two.
