Antique carved celluloid and crystal
necklace. This necklace is an old carved
celluloid bead strand with alternating
clear glass crystals, and round celluloid
beads near the end. This may have been
restrung or maybe just retied at the ends
on its flexible beading wire, or maybe this
is the way it is supposed to be. I
purchased this as a set along with brooch
item #605, brooch page 6. They do not
match but look great together.
Measures 16" long.

into a hard ivory-like material that could be molded when heated. It was not as good as expected as it warped and cracked after a short period of use. *Then the inventor J. Wesley Hyatt took up where
