T&R Singer gold and silver 21.5-inch barrel bead necklace with orange spiney oyster shell. #2313a

Here is a beautiful barrel-bead (with gold and silver) necklace originally made famous by the legendary Tommy Singer, R.I.P.  Now, Tommy’s widow, Rosita, and his daughter and son-in-law painstakingly make them identical to Tommy’s originals.  So close that they’ve been misrepresented as being made by Tommy himself.  A customer bought an expensive barrel bead necklace purported by the seller to be “made by Tommy Singer," but hallmarked "T&R" Singer.  Don’t be misled.  Tommy Singer jewelry is pretty scarce.  The Drifter now wears Tommy Singer pieces exclusively (which he acquired from Tommy himself).  People who own original Tommy Singer jewelry seldom entertain selling it.  T&R Singer barrel-bead necklaces—made by the aforementioned surviving family members—are hallmarked "T&R Singer" on the barrel bead itself.  Tommy never hallmarked the barrel bead.  He attached little brass tags to the clasp with "T. Singer" stamped on them.  End-to-end length is 21.5-inches, and the beads are primarily made from orange spiney-oyster shell.  Weight: 101-grams, or 3.57-ounces.  Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
