The end beads are round and melon shaped beads. These show age, tarnishing, and wearing and believe these to be silver colored or plated metal. Also, there are fancy ribbed silver beads which I have not tested but would guess these are silver plated rather than sterling silver.
These beads show age, tarnishing and wearing but are in nice condition. Overall, the necklace is in nice condition for its age and all intact. In addition, I sell items for Native Americans and from personal collections. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my items. Please let me know ahead of time. I will try my best to get the item out sooner.
