Glossy Graduated Butterscotch Amber Bead Necklace
Scrumptious butterscotch amber beads, so glossy and rich you just can't resist them. The subtly graduated, round beads are strung on silk, and they fasten with the necklace's wonderful original drilled clasp. Hard to say what aspect of the beads is most attractive, the deep color, the glowing polish, the silky texture? Fortunately you won't have to choose. Circa 1920.
Amber is a petrified tree resin. Butterscotch amber is a naturally occurring, rare variation of Baltic amber characterized by its creamy yellow color often described as a butterscotch hue.
