Gorgeous antique sterling silver book chain necklace with round carved pink jade beads alternating with rough turquoise nugget beads and a carved pink jade pendant. The pink stones were tested with a presidium gem tester II and they tested passed quartz to Jadite. Some of the parts of the chain are brass, like the pendant bail and link, the spring ring clasp and the 2 links connecting it to the chain. The links inside the beads connecting to the book chain are possibly brass as well, but all links were not tested. They appear to be sterling. The book chain was acid tested to be sterling or a high content of silver (800, 850, 900, etc). The pendant measures 34.1mm tall and 26.4mm wide. The pink jade beads measure 9.4mm. The chain measures approximately 18 1/2" long.
