- Condition: Both necklaces are strung in modern times and wearable as shown. Faience beads and pendants are ancient; stringing and metal terminal components are modern. Minor chips, abrasions, encrustations, and fading to coloration of several faience beads, with softening to most finer details on pendants, and some relatively sharp corners. Nice preservation to coloration on most beads.
