Necklace “TRADING POST No.3”, Length 71cm

This lovely necklace is made with vintage Venetian glass beads from the 1920s/1930s. These beads have an amazing bright red colour and a nice patina due to their age. 
This necklace has a total length of approximately 71cm and is fully knotted (one knot every two beads) with a natural black silk thread. 
Core element is the old blue white “Chevron” bead from Venice, which matches beautifully with the red glass beads.
This unique necklace refers the old american „Trading Posts“, where different goods (jewelry, crafts etc.) were sold and exchanged. 
Due to the knots and the silk thread, the necklace falls very naturally and smooth. It can be worn by women and men. Super light weight!
Please do NOT WEAR during shower, swimming etc.: the water and chemicals can saturate and damage the thread.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me.
The measurements are approximately 4mm-5mm (red glass beads) and 8mm (Chevron bead).
