Ultra fabulous rhinestone necklace by Hobe'. There are nine "bunches", for lack of a better term, formed by two huge blue, one huge light blue and two order small faceted rhinestones. One of the bunches has two light blue rhinestones. The bunches are cleverly connected by a linked chain that is soldered to the back of the necklace; the chain provides support and structure. I love how well-crafted this piece is. The blue and light blue rhinestones are nearly .5"; the clear rhinestones are approximately 1/8".
All stones are prong-set. The metal is gold-colored. The Hobe mark is stamped on the back of one of the large stones. The fastener is a hook clasp.
The length is approximately 17.5", which includes the approximately 3" extension, which ends in a clear rhinestone ball. The width is approximately 1.75" and the weight is 2.4". If the necklace is too short, an extender can easily be attached.
The rhinestones are all sparkling and in wonderful condition. A truly fab item.
All stones are original. There are no missing, cracked, discolored or broken stones.
In excellent vintage condition.
Will be sent from my clean, pet-free, smoke-free and vape-free home.
