I think I may have found an authentic flapper necklace. How can I know if it is a genuine period piece?
It has three strands of small red glass seed beads and one strand of sideways diamond shaped beads with a peacock finish. Very long. I would love to know if it is an authentic piece before I try to sell it on eBay. Any advice on how I know if it is a genuine period piece? Like I said, the beads are small, glass, and vividly red.
Bring the piece to a local antique shop that has similar type of jewelry. They can help you determine if it’s a period piece.
