This necklace was found with a variety of jewelry. Some pieces were from the Victorian era while others were modern but vintage. It is a beautiful necklace, hook is marked 925 the numbers are not perfect in size therefore I do not believe that it was mass produced. Looking for help to identify era, are they garnets, Chez glass. Did a little research and found these possibililities, Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

I got this off the web.
By far the vast majority of qualifying items made in the US ca. 1860 to 1970–especially items made before 1940–are marked sterling or sterling silver. Very rarely are qualifying pieces of American silver from those years marked only 925.

Not likely victorian. Probably contemporary artisan piece. Could be garnet beads with sterling Bali beads and findings. It's lovely.
