A very delicate and pretty necklace made from red ‘ white heart’ trade beads
with other brass African tribal beads including some gold washed Yoruba raised dot beads.
( I have two very similar of these, one longer than the other)
(When I bought these trade beads there were a few of the cowrie shells with them on a very damaged threading so I have used one of these cowrie shells as a ‘drop’ From the type of threading on the originals I am presuming them to have originally come from the Pacific, but I have no confirmation of this )
£ 95 ea
length: 55 cms & 67 cm
The clasps are vermeil ( gold plated sterling silver)
