Description
In very good condition, the beads are round, graduated, and cut by hand, not machine. The slight variation in shape gives it an organic feel. The beads are cut by hand and not machine cut.
The natural Malachite beads are a deep shade of green with natural variations and few inclusions, if any.
The handmade brass hook clasp has a lovely warm patina.
The beads are knotted on a thick cotton thread, one knot between each bead.
The size of the round beads varies from 5/8 inch (16mm) in diameter at the center to 3/8 inch (10mm) at the ends.
The necklace has a hook clasp and is 17 inches long.
