This beaded necklace is composed of large, opaque white glass beads with a ribbed, barrel-shaped design. These are interspersed with smaller round crackle glass beads in three alternating colours: aqua blue, pale pink, and chartreuse green. When viewed under ultraviolet light, the chartreuse green beads exhibit a strong, bright green fluorescence characteristic of uranium glass. The white beads show a faint blue-purple fluorescence. The necklace is strung on a cord as a continuous strand; no clasp or fastener is visible in the provided photographs. The style is indicative of mid-20th-century costume jewellery.

Length: Not measured.
