Sterling silver and purple jade necklace

[mimiwells]

Found a lovely sterling silver and purple jade necklace.  The beads are of course open on each end and are cylindrical.  On each bead it is capped with a sterling silver hat...really neat, but can't find anything similar, any thoughts on where I can look?

Very nice! When I see that type of clasp I always think 80`s.  We used to sell a lot of Italy 925 necklaces with that type of chain during that time period.  That`s all I got tho. ..sorry.

I like it!

The "sterling silver hat" is called a bezel cup with soldered jump ring,have the stones been tested ,they don't look like jade in the photos.

Not tested yet

Hmmm I see 80's and the word tubular mentioned in the same thread. I'm sensing a pattern, like totally Just kidding-nice necklace!

Your stone is Purple Chalcedony, Look up Google and you will see in the pictures plenty of samples. The other part of your question I cannot help sorry. Jillian.

Thank you for all the responses.  Here is another picture, I didn't even think of Chalcedony.

Does anyone know if this style of alternating bead link could qualify as a Station necklace?
