It weighs 21.3g. For size reference, the center bead measures 19x13mm. For additional reference to size, please see photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was purchased in pretty rough shape, but I've disassembled it (to protect the stones) and cleaned and polished up the silver to freshen it up. I only replaced the beading wire with solid sterling silver. with the exception of this and 2 sterling beads, all is original to the piece. There is wear to the elements--as should be expected for 50 years (scratches, small denting to to beads (see photos).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chain and clasp appear to be solid sterling silver. The silver beads are behaving as sterling--and I was assured they were, but they have a nickel smell to them--which could just be what the silver, at the time of manufacturing, was alloyed with.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Life Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871618978049,"sku":"311-30","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/8005\/6321\/files\/il_fullxfull.7185867791_tlu5.jpg?v=1761946394","url":"https:\/\/www.newlifejewelry.com\/products\/turquoise-vintage-usa-beaded-necklace-76916","provider":"New Life Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
