About the Item
These four bead chains form a beautiful set, and could be worn as necklaces or used as an ornamental decoration. Remarkably, the beads are just shy of 1000 years old, and were crafted in the Islamic world - the present day Middle East, in the 12th century. However, crafted in strikingly colored gemstones, these beads retain their beauty and charm as though they had been newly crafted.
Of the four chains of beads, which are all of different lengths, three are crafted from the mineral carnelian, which is prized for its vibrant orange-red color. The fourth bead chain is crafted of rich, red garnet and clear, veined rock crystal in an alternating design.
Smallest necklace length 23cm, longest 40cm.

Mid-20th Century Baltic Amber Necklace with Graduated Polished Beads
Located in Worcester, GB
Mid-20th Century Baltic Amber Necklace with Graduated Polished Beads
A finely made vintage amber necklace, dating to the mid-20th century, strung with 89 polished beads displaying the warm cognac tones and internal inclusions characteristic of natural Baltic amber. Each bead is individually hand-knotted on cord, and the necklace is fitted with a lobster clasp, likely a later replacement.
The amber has good translucency with natural variation throughout, ranging from pale honey to deeper brandy hues. The beads are gently graduated, giving the necklace a harmonious balance and fluid line when worn.
Measuring approximately 53cm in length and weighing 12.2 grams, it sits comfortably at collarbone level and wears well either alone or layered.
Likely produced c.1950s–1970s, this is a classic example of mid-century Baltic amber jewellery...
