Avg Rating: 0 /10
30" strand of Ethiopian silver beads with a 2" finial bead and small bright pink tassel. This necklace of 60 13x9mm hollow oval silver beads and 2 20x15mm resin "Amber" beads can be worn as-is, restrung, or taken apart to use the components separately in new jewelry. All sizes are approximate, as these beads are handmade and vary from bead to bead. Exact composition of these silver beads is unknown -- they can be anywhere from nickel silver to coin silver, and are likely to be made of locally available recycled materials. This necklace appears to have been worn and loved before it traveled to the new continent.
