Great USA made piece from my old Excalibur hotel line. 35 years old. Not ancient but really nice. Was made by a company called Star Creations - their long gone now but their quality was exceptional. We used genuine Swarovski crystal to get those fabulous colors. The casting is excellent - you'd think it was sterling might be pewter I can't remember.. It measures 2 and 1/8 inches long. Strung on soft silk cord simply tied. Excellent piece
