Vintage 12k GF Gold and Brown Tiger Eye Beaded Necklace

Delicate Vintage 12k GF necklace with 3 tiger eye beads. This necklace is a style known as a station necklace, which is a type of chain where beads or gemstones are fixed at intervals along its length. The beads are made of tiger's eye, a natural gemstone known for its characteristic warm brown and golden chatoyancy (a shimmering optical effect). This specific piece features three such beads on a delicate gold chain and a spring-ring clasp. Tiger's eye is a metamorphic rock associated with protection, good luck, inner strength, and self-confidence. Station necklaces with tiger's eye beads have been available since at least the 1970s and remain a popular, versatile style suitable for everyday wear or layering. The marking on the clasp, "1/20 12K G.F.", indicates that the jewelry is gold-filled. This is a specific type of metal processing that is different from solid gold or gold plating. Explanation of the Marking G.F.: This stands for "Gold-Filled". 12K: This indicates the purity of the gold layer used is 12 karats. 1/20: This means that the gold layer makes up at least 1/20th (or 5%) of the item's total weight. Please see the photo for the length when clasped in cm and inches. NO BOX OR BAG PROVIDED
