Fabulous 1960s or 1970s big glass beaded necklace with jewel tone art glass beads, most likely French.

There is a silvertone bead at the back that looks like a French style screw barrel clasp, but it appears to be a faux decorative clasp. It is not needed as the necklace is long enough to go over the head easily...
