Double Strand Necklace with French Antique Cut Metal Beads, Herkimer Diamonds, and Amber & Clear Beads

This is a double strand necklace, meticulously crafted with French antique cut metal beads, Herkimer diamonds, and amber & clear beads. The exceptionally small metal beads are sourced from France. They feature a delicate cut on each bead, interspersed with smoothly rounded ones, measuring approximately 1.5mm. Experience the charm of aged metal and its subtle, refined texture. The clear and amber-colored beads are antique seed beads from India. Each bead possesses a unique, slightly irregular shape, bearing the marks of time and a history of being cherished for many years (circa 19th-20th century). Accented with small Herkimer diamonds, each bead is nestled between 18k gold-plated Karen silver. A single, deep indigo blue Indo-Pacific bead (circa 10th century) graces the clasp area. The gently curved clasp is also made of Karen silver. ◇ Karen Silver ◇ This silver is handcrafted by a hill tribe residing in the Thai-Burmese region. Each piece is individually made, known for its exceptionally high purity.
