T&R Singer gold and silver barrel bead and Lapis 21.75-inch necklace. #2443a
$259.00
Here is a beautiful barrel-bead necklace (with Sterling and gold-fill beads) originally made famous by the legendary Tommy Singer, R.I.P. The Drifter acquired over a hundred (probably two hundred!) of them from Tommy prior to the latter's passing.. 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 elsewhere as being made by Tommy himself. One of our customers (now!) recently 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. Original Tommy Singer jewelry is pretty scarce. The Drifter 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 22-.75 inches, and beads are primarily the beautiful, but expensive, lapis. Weight: 118.4-grams, or 4.2-ounces. Complimentary USPS tracked Priority shipping within the U.S.
