Antique Treasures Necklace - Shells and Venetian Beads

There are so many wonders in this piece: Shells from Mauritius dating back to the 1800s are joined by Venetian African Trading Beads also from the 1800s. All pulled together with leather and sterling silver resulting in casual rustic charm. I love to imagine the miles these beads have travelled, and the hands they have passed through before they landed here for you.   Antique Maritius Shells (1800s). Authentic Venetian Glass African Trading beads (1800s). Sterling silver beads and clasp. Leather.  18' in length. Handmade in Terry's workshop.
