<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JewelryPicker, post: 9463426, member: 20513&quot;]I picked up a graduated wedding cake necklace in a lot last night at auction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have had similar ones in the past, but my knowledge of this type of art glass jewelry is not extensive.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>unfortunately, I did not get photos of it last evening as I was busy cleaning up and listing another item.&nbsp;&nbsp; And I’m at work now, so I don’t have any photos to share right now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>my question is to those of you who may be more familiar with these beads.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Are there any tell-tale characteristics I should be looking for to determine: age, authenticity, quality, value etc?</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize these have been produced for quite some time and are still being made today.&nbsp; And like anything else, poorer quality copies are common.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will upload photos this evening, but in the meantime does anyone have any insight on things to look for?</p><p><br /></p><p>the beads are light blue with the typical raised &amp; painted wedding cake design, graduated in size.&nbsp; They are strung on a double string (not double strand necklace) and secured with a brass threaded barrel closure.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I recall, the strand is not very long at all, approaching choker length, probably between 16-18”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
