Minor surface wear on the bead coating (common with AB finishes) and light oxidation/tarnishing on the metal clasp and extender chain.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace. These platforms are ideal for low-to-mid range fashion jewelry. It would also perform well in a physical thrift/consignment booth or as part of a 'jewelry lot' on eBay.
Selling Tips
Focus photography on a white background to show the bead colors accurately and include a 'macro' shot of the beads to show the AB coating. Use keywords like 'Iridescent,' 'Faceted Glass,' 'Teal,' 'Emerald,' and 'Bling.' Bundle this with other green or crystal jewelry to increase the perceived value and justify shipping costs.
