Moroccan silver bead, carnelian, lapis, sterling silver woven double necklace
This unique double strand necklace was created with a Moroccan silver center bead, vintage tube carnelian trade beads, and modern lapis beads. Hand woven sterling silver pieces finish the necklace. The center bead is hollow and very lightweight so the necklace wears much lighter than it looks. A very unique one of a kind piece.
Carnelian tubes are from about the 1920's. Not sure of the exact age of the Moroccan bead. It was from an estate and the age placed approx. 50 years old. Don't know enough about makers marks to place exact age. Beautiful bead regardless of age. The larger lapis beads are natural - they have not been color enhanced.
length - Inside 18" outside 21"
clasp - spring clasp.
