Vintage 1980's Gold Graduated Braided Necklace - 24" long unclasped - 12" drop

Vintage 1980's Gold Graduated Braided Necklace - 24" long unclasped - 12" drop. I do not know the manufacture but I know it was purchased at Nordstrom's in the 1980's. It is very good quality costume jewelry. It is some type of non-tarnish gold plating. It's as gold as the day it was purchased. Barley worn. In very good vintage condition. It is graduated style. The rope gets thicker as it goes down to the middle.
