    Description

    This is being sold by my 93 year old friend.  Her mother was born in 1899.  My friend told me her mother wore these tiny
    coral beads because the family believed that coral brought Good Luck.
    My research tells me that this was a common Victorian belief.
    The "necklace" measures 17".
