The beads are Czechoslovakian, textured and enameled in a warm shade of bronze and accented with 10mm striped antique golden beads. The pendant is brass - handmade and carved in a circular design. All of these elements hang together by a Gold Magnetic Clasp. You will never have to fumble with a clasp again. To open just pull it apart - to close put the pieces close to each other and they will automatically attract. So comfortable and easy to use. The necklace is classic, easy to wear, neutral in color - it will go with everything you own. You will enjoy wearing this golden treasure.
