There are no maker's marks. With tiny spacer beads (of unknown material), the large beads are definitely glass. Any date range would be appreciated. The length is 17".
Any info on this iridescent glass bead necklace appreciated

So it is pretty much a choker at that length. I would say 40s. Let's see what others think.

Gosh, Maggie.....such a pretty blue color! It may be late 1940s but for some reason, I'm thinking more early to mid 1950s.
I would say early 1950s. I am fairly sure that J-hooks were not used before the early 1950s. They were used most frequently in the1950s and 1960s. According to some sources Trifari first used a J hook on a necklace in 1947, but I'm not 100% sure that is accurate. You would be safe to date this necklace to the early 1950s. (Or if it were mine I would say C. 1950s.)
I appreciate the help everyone!
