The centre pendant on the front measures 1.25″ x .7″. The overall length of the necklace is 29.5″.

AI description:

“The beads and pendant show an even apple-to-emerald green with a slightly waxy, semi‑translucent appearance typical of chalcedony colored by nickel (chrysoprase). The carved shapes and smooth polish used in vintage jewelry are commonly seen with chrysoprase, and the stone lacks the obvious metallic sparkle (aventurescence) that would indicate aventurine.”
