This extraordinary necklace, dating back to the period of 1890 to 1900, is a true heirloom piece. Originating from the northwestern city of Rivne, Ukraine, it has been cherished by the same family for generations. The region is renowned for its amber mining, adding to the necklace’s rich history and authenticity.

The necklace measures approximately 24 inches in length and features meticulously handcrafted amber beads ranging from 18.5 to 21.4 mm. While the beads appear perfectly round, a closer inspection reveals their unique round to semi-round shapes, a testament to the hours of careful hand-shaping with various grits of sandpaper. This subtle imperfection enhances the necklace’s charm and individuality.

The necklace is adorned with high-quality, lead-free pewter spacer beads, each measuring approximately 12 mm in diameter and 5.0 mm thick. The chestnut brown amber beads are well-polished and shiny, adding a touch of elegance to this antique piece. It is in excellent condition, reflecting its careful preservation over the years.

For ease of wear, the necklace features an easy-to-use sterling silver round hook and eye clasp. Originally, the necklace contained some damaged beads, which have been expertly removed and the piece redesigned to ensure its pristine condition. Should you wish to customize or alter the length of the necklace, I offer complimentary labor for adjustments within 30 days of purchase.

Please note that due to the size of the beads, the necklace may not fit over your head without utilizing the clasp. This feature ensures both ease of wear and security.

This exquisite necklace comes with a gift/storage pouch and a gift box, making it a perfect present or a treasured addition to your own collection. Own a piece of history with this rare and beautiful Baltic Amber necklace, a timeless addition to any jewelry collection. See less
