content: Pink and white necklace from Mae's Millinery Shop. The center front of the necklace has a large metal triangular piece with scrollwork design, which is hidden from view by an oval shaped pink and white striped element set into a metal frame with pink rhinestones around the rim. Three (3) cone shaped pink and white beads dangle below it. On either side of the oval element, which is set diagonally rather than vertical or horizontal, is a pink beaded flower with metal leaves. Three (3) strands of pink beads extend from either side of the central element, ending with a metal flower decorated with pink beads. A short length of beads extends from one end, with a metal clasp on the other to fasten around it. The maker's name is engraved on the reverse of the clasp.
