Vintage/Antique Natural Egg Yolk Butterscotch Amber Prayer Beads Necklace
Bead Sizes: Graduated from 11mm to 17.6mmTotal Weight: 30.94 Grams
Up for no reserve auction we have a very old set of natural egg yolk amber beads. As you can see the old original string has fallen apart and split into three small strands along with some loose beads. These amber beads have remarkable color, and the majority of them are in excellent condition. There are no brok...en or cracked beads, just some small beads that have some crazing and chipping near the holes which is to be expected. I counted approximately 26 beads that were in perfect condition, and about 7 or 8 with very small crazing/chipping near the hole (most were only on one side of the beads). The largest beads are in excellent condition. The prayer bead, or clasp with the threaded end, does not lock in tight to the other side, but it's close and might just need a cleaning.
These beads actually have a very interesting history... They came out of the estate of Ed Levin, who was a very well known jewelry maker known for his modernist designs, and he had quite the array of beads from around the world that he collected, and used for inspiration with his jewelry making. Please be aware these beads came in a dusty plastic bag that was sitting around for many many years, and I didn't clean them one bit so they may still have a little dirt or dust on them which may be seen in the pictures.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, thanks!
