This collection features a variety of jewelry components and loose beads characterized by an opaque, butterscotch-orange color. The lot includes a section of graduated, barrel-shaped beads joined by a yellow-toned metal chain, as well as a larger sequence of graduated oval and egg-shaped beads partially strung on a thin filament. The beads possess a uniform appearance with a semi-matte finish and appear to be either natural amber or a synthetic resin. No hallmarks, purity marks, or maker’s marks are visible on the metal elements. The assembly suggests a vintage aesthetic typical of early 20th-century bead jewelry. Weight and measurements are not provided.


Condition report:

The items are presented in an unassembled and partially broken condition. The collection includes loose beads and sections with compromised stringing. The beads show surface wear, light scratches, and a dulling of the finish consistent with age. The yellow-toned metal components exhibit some surface tarnish.
