Vintage Venetian 24k Gold Wedding Cake Bead Necklace Great Clasp 16"

Description

Great vintage necklace featuring gorgeous handmade venetian wedding cake beads heavily decorated with 24k gold foil and trailing design. The clasp is beautiful, appears original and is in good working condition. The back of the clasp and a few of the brass beads have some verdigis shown in the last picture but otherwise
I do not see or feel any damage, just wear typical for a necklace of this age and style.     It is spectacular!
I
have not cleaned this necklace.
The stringing appears to be original and secure but this is a vintage item so the buyer should know it may last 10 more years or 10 more minutes as is the nature of vintage necklaces and it may need to be restrung.
Please view and zoom all pictures as they are part of the description.
Length is approx 16 inches long.  Beads are approx 16mm.
COMBINED SHIPPING - PLEASE READ
Please use the shopping cart feature and if the shipping charge in your shopping cart shows as more than one shipping fee send me a request for total before you check out.  Not all orders can ship for one shipping fee but most can.  But If you check out without asking for a total I can't refund the full amount you overpaid because ebay charges me a fee for EACH shipping amount.  So if you pay 3 shipping amounts ebay charges me 3 fees and I can't get that back even when I do a partial refund.  I am happy to work with my customers to ensure they don't overpay for shipping but I can only refund the part that is overpaid minus the fees that ebay will keep.  Thank you for reading this :-)

All items must be paid within 3 days of your commitment to purchase them either via But It Now or auction.  After 3 days a non paying bidder case will be opened.  Non paying buyers will be blocked from future purchases.
Regardless of what this listing shows I nearly always ship within 2 days of receiving payment for an item.  I have had to extend the handling time setting to accommodate the post office not scanning packages.  Late scans are a defect against sellers so my listing shows a 5 day handling time to lessen late scan defects.  But I try to ship asap, many times the same day.
