Vintage Job's Tears bib necklace in a great design sets this lovely natural bead necklace apart from others made of Job's Tears beads.  Job's Tears are a natural pod from grass seeds grown in tropical climates and native to China, though they are grown around the world and used to make jewelry, handbags and many other items.  This necklace was strung in a fringe beaded bib style and hangs beautifully around the neck.  Most likely from the 1960s, the color is a soft grey color believed to be the natural color of the bead.  The bib creates a collar around the neck and clasps with a simple J-hook.  The longest fringes are 2 ½ inches long and the length is 14 ¼ inches or choker length.  For more information about Job's Tears, see the article written in the website for Waynes's World here  http://waynesword.palomar.edu/plapr99.html .
