This Vintage Sterling Taxco 925 Bar and Ball Necklace features a functional clasp for secure wear. The necklace is made of high-quality sterling silver with a 925 metal purity, making it durable and long-lasting. With its choker style design, this necklace adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any outfit, making it a timeless accessory that can be worn for years to come. It's difficult to photograph but there appears to be 3 initials scratched onto the inside of the clasp. Not visible when worn but I try to disclose everything I see. Will shine up nicely!
