Condition

VERY GOOD. This rare iridescent purple Maireener Tasmanian shell necklace is in very good condition! The shells have a gorgeous hue and have lasted incredibly through the years. Some of the shells are chipped, however, they are securely strung and have maintained their vibrant hue. This piece may have been re-strung at one point in time, as some of the shells have some pre-existing holes (through which the string would have been threaded), but this does not affect the integrity of the piece. Overall this treasure has lasted beautifully!
