This is a gorgeous bead necklace by jewellery designer Pauline Rader.
It features oval elongated beads in gold, silver and rose gold tone metal. These are interspersed with small ridged spacer beads in gold tone metal. Her pieces are usually gold plated and we believe this necklace to be gold plated.
It is in excellent condition and carries the Pauline Rader signature tag at the clasp. The closure is a screw barrel clasp in silver tone metal.
