The color of this vintage necklace is gorgeous! It is a five graduated tier "Japan" Raspberry glass rounded bead with Molded Lucite beads between.

The raspberry round glass beads range from 6 to 11 mm (just under ¼" to 7/16") in diameter.

Between them are molded raspberry Lucite beads that are 14 mm (9/16") in diameter. There are also raspberry round beads between them too.

There are also metallic gold over opaque glass beads that are 12 mm (just under ½") in diameter.

Gold glass seed beads are between each of the beads as spacers.

Gold tone metal hardware and hook style closing.

The necklace is in overall good condition except for some foil missing on the gold metallic glass beads. They look like they have been patterned instead. There are also some different paint spots on them and don't know why. The beads look neat though and look like they have been purposely swirled and patterned with Gold Metallic paint.

The molded beads could use a good rinse. Some dust.

There is no signature on the clasp.. The earrings are signed though and do belong to the necklace so I do know that the necklace is from Japan.

The necklace measures opened: 18" long.

Next are the matching clip on style earrings. Same glass beads as the necklace.

The earrings are signed on the back "Japan".

Gold tone filigree backing and hardware.

Great vintage condition except they could use a good cleaning. They are dirty.

They measure: 1" tall x 1" wide.
