Vintage Black Spinel Bead Necklace With Removable Pendant

Vintage Black Spinel Bead Necklace With Leaf Clip      Circa. 1940     American

Three strand natural black spinel faceted beads create this 18 inch necklace.   We added a 1940's black and silver leaf clip as a pendant.  Both items can be worn individually.   The clip was originally worn at the edge of a dress or jacket lapel.  Both pieces are very versatile!   Can be worn with jeans or evening wear.

The necklace is 18 inches long.  We replaced the clasp with a new small round spring clasp.   The camera could not capture the reflective brilliance of the tiny faceted spinel stones.   The removable leaf clasp measures 1 1/2 inches long x 1 inch wide.   Total weight for the necklace and pendant is 21.0 g.     13.5 dwt

In pristine condition.     The leaf clip shows slight wear commensurate with age
