Bone and Silver Necklace








































This four-strand necklace is made of pieces collected over many years; Asian carved bone and seed animals, sterling silver beads of all sizes and from many countries, carnelian beads from the African trade (made in Germany more than 70 years ago), and an "amber" bead from the African Trade which is actually bakelite. These bakelite beads were traded in the first half of the 20th century and are beautiful antiques in their own right. The clasp is sterling silver.

The Bone and Silver necklace is $3,000
A copy (delivery 2-3 weeks) is $1,000. Copies will not be exactly like the original, but will have the same or similar elements arranged in the same way.
