Art Deco Red Cherry Amber Bakelite Bead Necklace 25 Inches Long 48g Faceted
This is a gorgeous art deco graduated and facetted cherry amber bakelite bead necklace measuring 25 inches end to end and weighing 48.56 grams.
The beads have all been closely inspected and are in excellent condition - the largest bead is approx 28mm (1 & 1/8th inch) long and 3/4s of an inch or 19mm wide. The smallest are about 1/2 an inch long (12mm).
The colour is a fabulous deep and rich cherry red and it fastens with a gold metal bolt ring.
I have a few very nice old necklaces for sale this week - they are unlikely to be relisted for auction or on eBay again.

Please use the zoom tool to examine photos before bidding. Close up photos are to show detail, quality and condition and are not intended to exaggerate size. Items are usually photographed with a ruler and coins to show size/scale (and often on scales if the weight is relevant).
UK orders with a combined or individual value of more than £100 are only insured if sent 'Special Delivery' - please select this option at checkout for full cover.

I am happy to combine additional items in one package for only one shipping charge - there may be a slight increase if the combined weight is over 100g including packaging.

My listings are anonymous so buyer IDs are kept private from other eBay members but I am happy to remove this feature if buyers let me know that they'd prefer openness.
My vintage and antique jewellery is true vintage and has been collected over decades - I do not collect or sell reproductions. I try to take good clear photos and mention any significant wear or defects. If you are new to buying vintage jewellery please don't expect items to be as new or 'mint' unless stated. Photos are enlarged so that you can inspect the items before bidding - please use the weights and measurements given. I try to remember to use 5p and a US dime coins in at least one of the photos to show relative scale. The close up photos are to show detail and condition and are never intended to exaggerate size or value.
Overseas buyers: eBay items sent overseas must be tracked to comply with PayPal buyer and seller protection. I offer to combine additional items for no extra P&P fee - Only pay one shipping charge up to a combined or individual value of £250 and weight limit of 250g including packaging.
International Tracked is tracked door to door and is insured - if Tracked is not available to your country Royal Mail ‘Tracked and Signed’ or ‘Signed for’ will be used - these services are also insured.

About Me: I have collected lots of beautiful old fine and costume jewellery over the years. I love anything iridescent and related to the sea and sailing; coral, pearl, amber, shell, fish & boat themed jewellery etc. I also love vintage silver and enamel jewellery, particularly Norwegian and Chinese enamels and early butterfly brooches. I like natural materials including agate, jade, carnelian, amber and Whitby jet and have a large collection of Victorian, Edwardian sentimental and mourning lockets and suffragette jewellery. I have a real passion for old beads and have a good collection of Venetian and Czech glass necklaces, I find the history of beads absolutely fascinating and have lots of amazing books on the subject. I also collect quirky and unusual pieces with a sense of humour or the macabre and I enjoy taking photographs and selling my collections on eBay. I hope to keep my eBay site stocked with interesting and varied items in very good to excellent condition so please check back regularly - add me to your favourites and find me on instagram with the same ID
Thank you for looking & good luck with your bids! :)
