£675.00

This is a recent assemblage of five large genuine natural amber pieces interspersed with ebony wood beads inlaid with silver. The colouration of each chunky amber piece is beautiful. There is a crack in one of the amber pieces (see photo) as is often the case in such ancient elements. A stunning stylish necklace.
