A lovely necklace with old mother of pearl beads which look like they date from the 1940s or 1950s. They have lovely fire and have been carved into an unusual rounded oblong (not quite cylinder) shape which seems to follow the fire all the way round. my thinking is that these were from a short or broken necklace and have been restrung with apple coral beads as spacers. These i cannot determine the age of. The necklace is a good weight at app 30 g and hangs well. It fastens with a secure lobster clasp.

"The love energy of Mother of Pearl is both effective for yourself and others. It can be used in many situations like increasing love luck or increasing your self-esteem. Mother of Pearl is a gemstone that has a meaning and properties to free owner's mind." google

Apple coral is harvested from non endangered species of coral.

The necklace is app 18.75" long . The longest bead is app 12 mm as they all vary being hand carved. The beads are all in lovely condition and feel good in the hands.
