Description
- Remnants of a vintage Naga 19-strand necklace composed of very dark, very round, very hard natural seeds, embellished at the back with White Hearts and smal blue and white striped seed beads.
- The center and the ends of the necklace are missing, presumably the ends wore out and something more valuable was removed form the middle, possibly carnelian beads
- It's an interesting artifact, or a trove of unusual, very durable, very round, and almost black seeds of some kind. They are so sturdy, hard, and perfectly round I thought they they might be wood, but I cut one open and they're real natural seeds that could have many uses in lightweight organic jewelry.
- Plus there are about 50-60 inches of white hearts and vintage stripe seed beads at the ends.
- Mom's not around anymore so I can't ask about the story behind this or what it cost so I'm pricing it as salvage. I hope someone who appreciates the parts can figure out something great to do with these beads.
- From the collection of Joyce Diamanti, bead researcher, writer and educator.
