CONDITION
:
The piece includes what appears to be the original patina and finish.  I have never cleaned or polished it in the years that I have owned it.  The surface finish is uneven with darker and lighter areas across the finish which is common for this style of jewelry in addition there are scuff/abrasion marks and miscellaneous wear throughout the finish.  The beads also include miscellaneous dents and wear and shown in the photos. There are 9 round settings in which jewels would have originally been but the stones are no longer present. Regarding the beaded chain components, below is a list of the approximate totals by components including missing pieces. Please see photos for condition details.
The neck band includes 25 attached hoops from which the beaded chains hang.  2 of the attached hoops have nothing attached to them.
There are approximately 33 total "figure 8" wire components at the top of the dangle components, 2 of which no longer include the remaining chain/beads.
There are 10 of the figure 8 wire components that include a single bell bead only.
There are 9 long chain components with bead bells at the end.
There are 11 long chain components that include the larger cylindrical bead and remaining chain and bead components.
There is 1 long chain component that includes the larger cylindrical bead with no remaining components at the end.
Please refer to the listing photos for reference as the components were not that easy to separate and count out.
