Product Description
Authentic Art Deco Era Baltic Amber Beads Necklace
Rare, beautifully clear rondelle amber beads with fascinating inclusions. I did not search with a loupe to see if there are any insects or creatures in the amber...
Features buttercsotch egg yolk nugget beads accented with rondelle shaped/cut honey amber beads. The rondelle beads are strung in sections of 10 beads which are strung with with the center beads being the largest. They then graduate down in size on each side to the smallest beads. The necklace is strung with 12 sections of these rondelle beads which are accented with an egg yok amber beads separating each section making a total of 11 larger egg yolk nugget beads. The 12th bead makes the clasp which is actually 2 lighter yellow amber beads which when closed make the 12th bead. Beautifully designed in a most unique pattern and hand knotted only on each side of the egg yolk beads.
This is a difficult look/design to achieve as each of the rondelle beads need to be close enough in size to the other on each section to allow it to match perfectly in length. And each rondelle bead being hand cut and polished makes this quite a feat if you ask me!
