This vintage necklace is beaded and has hardware and a hook clasp made of a silver tone metal. The necklace has small round beads from the clasp forward where it transitions into alternating disc and ball beads. The front section features 7 strands strung with little bone beads (a bit bigger than seed beads), and there are 5 smooth round pieces that can move freely along the beaded strands. The necklace has normal wear including yellow in the tone of the bone beads, and darkening/cloudiness of the metal. The length and weight are both substantial, and the tone of the beads shows their age.
While I can't confirm 100% that this is water buffalo bone, it is my best guess (and it is certainly not ivory). The colour variance between the beads (like pic 3) and the porous texture (like pic 4) is consistent with natural bone.
Length: 80.5cm / 31.75"
Disc bead width (near top): 25mm
Weight: 146.83g
