Hello, I have this lovely beaded collar that I got from ebay. It wasn't listed with much information and so if anyone has any thoughts on how old it might be, I'd love to hear! I think the beads are glass and it appears to be lined with some kind of cotton material, which is quite damaged in places. It fastens at the neck with hooks and eyes which are a bit rusted, and appears to be entirely hand-stitched. Please ignore the state of the wall behind the mannequin, the ceiling was recently replastered and the room is looking a mess still! :D
