Presented is a spectacular vintage (circa 1980's) "Dauplaise" extra long metallic copper color metal bead necklace. The copper beads graduate in size and have brass seed bead spacers between them.
It measure 36" long from end to end (including clasp). It could easily be worn doubled up. This is a heavier piece, weighing 4.5 ounces. It is signed Dauplaise on the clasp, along with a utility patent number.
This necklace is in very good condition. The beads have an aged patina look, but it appears this was the intended design. The clasp is in perfect working order and it hangs beautifully.
A stylish versatile accessory!
