Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:908039 | Main Material/ Metal: Amber |
| Beads/ Stones: Amber | Type: Necklace |
Stunning jumbo size amber barrel beads necklace. I can't begin to describe the beautiful variation of colours and patterns inside the amber, and I have never seen another amber necklace of this size ! The photos do not do it justice!
They test positive to all the tests for real amber.... They float in salt water, are electrostatic (pick up small pieces of tissue paper), and are flourescent under UV light. Please see photos.
(The small red beads are not flourescent (please see... photos). They react with Simichrome, so I believe that they are cherry red bakelite).
The necklace weighs 193g without packing.
The largest bead measures just over 1 1/4 inches (3.2 cm) long. The other beads vary in size down to the smallest amber bead, which is just under 3/8 inch (2.1 cm) long.
They are in good condition, with some age related wear. When taking the photos I spotted 2 chips (one large chip, and another smaller chip which may be in the making). They are very difficult to spot on the necklace. The 2 beads are shown in the photos.
***Please note postage is from France.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR A BUY IT NOW. Sorry but to be fair to all the bidders, I prefer to let the auction run to the end.
