INVESTMENT & VALUE •Original Retail (MSRP): $650.00 • Current Listing Price: $70.00 • Total Savings: $580.00 (89% OFF) Reason for Discount: Sold AS-IS for restoration (missing beads/structural repair needed). ⚠️ CONDITION & REQUIRED REPAIR This necklace is being sold AS-IS and requires professional repair. • Structural Damage: The most critical issue is the separation at the junction where the garnet bead rope meets the fabric tie. The strands are pulling apart, and the stringing is exposed. • Cord Fraying: The burgundy fabric cord is frayed and the fine connecting wire is loose and sticking out in places. 📿 DETAILS & MATERIALS • Gemstone: Genuine Garnet beads • Weight: At 39.23g, the raw material value of the garnets alone represents a significant portion of the original $650 retail price. • Construction: Multi-Strand Torsade/Braided Rope. The beads are tightly twisted into a dense, thick rope. • Length: Approximately 12 inches of beaded garnet section, with long fabric ties for an adjustable length (can be worn as a choker or a longer necklace). • Artisan Finish: Features unique, hand-finished closures including custom wire-wrapped cord end caps and a wire-wrapped sliding knot on the adjustable tie.
