RARE antique Venetian glass trade beads necklace MALI great DESIGN and COLOURS
This is a rare antique Venetian glass trade beads necklace from Mali. Which I bought strung on raffia in a shop specialized in ethnic jewellery. I had it restrung on nylon and closed with a golden metal lobster clasp. The majority of the beads are black with a gorgeous yellow and bronze design. Behind the neck there are a dozen black beads with white and red design. I have never seen other Venetian trade beads with bronze in them. These trade beads were likely crafted during the 19th century. They are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially with this design. It is rare to find an entire intact strand of these special beads. Length of the necklace: 62 cm (24.40 inches). The beads have a diameter of 8 mm (0,31 inches), those behind the neck are slightly smaller. Weight of the necklace: 105 grams (3.70 ounces). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will answer them in English, Italian, German, French and Spanish. This necklace is from my collection.

RARE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN CARVED ANGEL SKIN CONCH SHELL CHUNKY TRADE BEADS NECKLACE 14CT GOLD CLASP. Victorian 1837 – 1901 Such an Amazing and Unique Piece! An extraordinary and rare antique Victorian hand-carved conch shell (strombus giga) chunky trade beads necklace, in a wonderful angel skin colour. The oval shaped beads are just beautiful – cold to the touch and very tactile. They graduate in size and have lovely grain markings, with blushes here and there. The largest central bead measures a whopping 29mm! The beads are hand-knotted on the original string, which still seems good and strong. The necklace fastens with a 14ct gold clasp, unmarked but professionally tested to at least 14ct. The necklace is long enough to go over the head without undoing the clasp. There are some natural and age related imperfections, as you would expect with a piece of this considerable age – there are two tiny nicks along the grain of the largest bead, which are very old and smooth (please see pictures) but there is nothing which detracts in any way from its immense charm. The beads are in Fantastic Condition for 120 or more years old. Everything is ALL ORIGINAL. Measures approximately: 26.5 or 67.5cm Largest bead measures approximately: 29mm Weight: 113g In Excellent Original Antique Condition. Thank you for looking.
