Description
A vintage trio of Jet, Malachite and Tiger’s Eye bead necklaces comprising three distinct strands of natural materials. The first necklace features graduated black Jet beads, deeply hand-carved with foliate and swirling motifs, secured with a Gold barrel screw clasp. The second necklace is composed of Malachite beads in alternating cylindrical and barrel forms, exhibiting characteristic dark green banding and separated by small green glass spacer beads with a Gold barrel screw clasp. The third necklace consists of a strand of uniform, chatoyant Tiger’s Eye round beads, finished with a Silver barrel screw clasp. No maker’s marks or hallmarks are present on any of the necklaces.
Condition report:
The necklaces are in good vintage condition overall. The Jet necklace shows a build-up of surface dust within the recesses of the hand-carved patterns (photo 2) and minor wear to the finish of the clasp. The Malachite beads retain a high polish with no visible chips or cracks to the stone (photo 3). The Tiger\'s Eye strand is secure with no evidence of bead loss or damage to the individual beads (photo 4).
