Hard to describe this great looking double rope necklace. The necklace is 18 inches end to end, and the ropes are graduated. There is NO makers mark on the necklace, but my guess would be that it is from the 50's-60's. It is like ears of Barley, and each of the Gold pieces move seperately. Each of the ropes is just over 3/8 of an inch wide. It is a great and stylish piece of vintage jewelry.
