LARGE NATURAL SAPPHIRE NECKLACE

An old one, all the beads are hand fashioned and vary in width, though you can see how well the graduation of sizes has been matched.  The previous owner was a traveler of many countries.  These came to me knotted but with no clasp, just a jump ring on each end.   It has been freshly knotted and an attractive vermeil (gold plating on sterling) clasp has been added.   The beads are large, ranging from 18 mm to 10 mm.  The sapphires are dark and opaque and the NECKLACE is 22 inches long with substantial weight (approx 5.5 ounces).  Sapphire growth pattern, which appears fibrous, appears in some of the  beads where they are lightly worn.

AMBER, BRASS AND GLASS, ARTS AND CRAFTS NECKLACE

The natural (guaranteed) amber beads have been hand cut in this old necklace.   Not polished, they are lightly grooved from the cutting technique.  The orange beads are glass and the others are brass with impressed design.  The centerpiece features a cluster of orange fruit and two leaves on filigree .. note the interesting design on the reverse.  About twenty inches long.  The original clasp has been replaced with a simple, easy to fasten design, so the metal does not match the beads.  Vintage costume jewelry in very good condition.
