A double strand necklace featuring organically shaped gold beads separated by tiny gold seed beads.  The necklace is affixed with a lobster hook clasp and measures 16" long.  The maker is unknown and the overall condition is good but with very minor loss to the gold that honestly lends an aged appearance.

Necklace Sizing

To determine the best necklace size for you, take a tape measure and wrap around your neck to get its circumference.  Take that number and add 2" to 4" to determine the best minimum necklace length for you.  For a regular necklace, choose the second size up from your neck size as a minimum.  For example, if your neck measures 15" around, the minimum necklace size you should choose would be 17" to 19".  If you want a choker, stick with your exact neck measurement for the necklace size.  Standard necklaces sizes, common to most people, come in the following sizes:

• 14" to 16" is a standard choker length
• 16" to 19" falls just below the throat at the collarbone
• 20" falls slightly below the collarbone and is a good choice for low necklines
• 22" falls at or just above the neckline
• 24" falls below the neckline
• 36" can be worn as a long single opera length or doubled up
• Children's necklaces are usually between 14" to 16"
