Vintage Art Deco CELLULOID Deeply Carved Graduated Cream & Black Beaded Necklace

Description

I thought this vintage necklace was carved bone until I looked at it under a loupe.  I believe the white beads are celluloid and the black ones are bakelite or celluloid.  Under the loupe the crackling of the beads is visible.   It is 8 1/2" long (17" end to end), is strung on string, and has a brass C clasp. The necklace is very lightweight.   Condition is pre-owned, some beads have soil and are crackled.  Sharp looking oldie!
