The rare Japanese porcelain tube beads in this man's necklace are charcoal grey.The beads were made under the occupation government in the late 1940s.They measure a hair less than 1/2" long by about 3/8" in diameter, and are spaced with small round bass beads from India, and glass seed beads from modern Japan.A bit over 20" long, the necklace is strung on sturdy nylon cable, and closes with a man-sized toggle. It's made to last, and to be worn comfortably ... Just what you'd expect from SPARKLE PLENTY!
