Lovely Long Mexican 'Jade' Gemstone Bead Necklace
Beautiful Mexican bead gemstone necklace. Very long green onyx necklace, sometimes referred to as Mexican Jade. Not completely sure of the date, these beads are typical of old 30's/40s Mexcan jewellery but the spacers and barrel clasp look more 70s era, pergaps restrung at some point. Long necklace, generous stones, a very nice weight to it.

About this Piece
Sterling Silver
Sterling is an alloy of silver containing at least 92.5% pure silver (925 parts of 1000 thus the 925 stamp), the remainder is made up of a mix of metals (most commonly copper) used to make the metal workable. Pure silver is generally considered too soft to work with, although you can find silver jewellery at 950 or 980, even the occasional 99.9% fine silver, which can be work-hardened to increase durability.
