<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 9448909, member: 5398&quot;]I have a similar necklace that was my mother&#039;s (born in 1912), with graduated beads cut like yours, but clear. It&#039;s also quite heavy. She called the necklace rock crystal. She wore it when she was a young woman (probably in the early 1930s) but it&#039;s possible it could have belonged to her Mother or an older sister. I don&#039;t know if the beads are actually rock crystal (a mineral) or lead crystal (glass with lead oxide).</p><p><br /></p><p>I really like the color of your necklace. Since you said it&#039;s heavy, I wonder if it&#039;s dyed rock crystal or lead crystal glass. Do you have a gem tester?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
