19th century or before, North Africa
the coral beads are some of the most beautiful and luscious beads Jewels has had at one time in years. The necklace is finished with a beautiful Moroccan amber bead. Amber is also highly desirable, collectible and thus so hard to find these days. It is a true collector’s piece.
One of a kind
Larger central bead: just over 5/8 x 3/4 x 1/2″
Necklace length from underside of button to end of loop (shorter length): 19.25″
A note about our woven cords. We weave these by hand, every one of them. Like all Jewels’ work no two are exact, as each of us. The work is labor intensive. When warmed to the skin the cord becomes more supple, conforms to the wearer, hangs at it should; the necklace transforms more than just a necklace. It becomes her or him.
