Older Strand of North African amber trade beads. Shaped slightly cylindrically, these beads are 1 1/4" in diameter. Some ends are angled slightly which makes them seem to curve. There are 38 beads in all. These appear to be fashioned to complement Venetian millefiori African trade beads (also known as Goulamine beads). These are temporarily strung, and a few show marks from being burn tested. These are most likely Moroccan.

This very unusual necklace contains beads made of Amber, Turquoise, Coral, and meticulously etched silver. The thing that really sets this piece apart is the three silver dorjes or thunderbolts, inlaid with turquoise and Coral with matching beads and end pieces. This necklace is 32" long, and weighs nearly 14 ounces. It is from Nepal, but here may be some Tibetan elements mixed in. Please see the detail on the Dorjes and end pieces
