Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6845265 | Type: Necklace |
| Main Gemstone: Amber |
An unusual antique natural Baltic amber bead necklace.
This piece probably dates to the 1920s / 30s. It is graduated and has tubular butterscotch amber beads with faceted honey amber spacer beads.
The cotton stringing is knotted and although very old it may not be original as, looking at the two end beads, it appears that they would have been the fastener rather than the metal barrel fastener.
Total weight: 21.5 grams.
length of largest tubular bead: 13mm
Length ...of smallest tubular bead: 6mm.
Total length (including screw fastener): 22 inches (56cm).
Condition is very good with nibbles to a couple of the tubular beads.
