Extra-Long Turquoise Glass Necklace with Antique Japanese & Tibetan Netsuke Carvings and Mixed Organic Beads A truly one-of-a-kind wearable curiosity cabinet, this extraordinary necklace weaves bright turquoise glass beads with a constellation of antique hand-carved treasures. Each organic bead — miniature netsuke-style faces, animals, fruit-pit carvings, seed beads, and dark wooden talismans — carries the charm of old Asian craftsmanship and the quiet mystery of objects made by hand. The piece drapes in long, fluid layers, creating a sculptural, art-collector aesthetic. The result is an unmistakably soulful adornment: part amulet, part art object, part wanderer’s relic from forgotten markets of Kyoto, Lhasa, and Kathmandu. DESCRIPTION A dramatic, multi-strand long necklace composed of vibrant turquoise-blue glass beads accented with an eclectic mix of antique hand-carved elements. Among the stations are miniature netsuke carvings, vintage wooden beads, carved fruit-pit pieces, and rustic natural elements. Every bead is individually strung, maintaining the asymmetric rhythm and character of traditional folk adornment. The necklace is long enough to wrap twice or wear as a statement single opera-length strand. MATERIALS Turquoise-colored glass seed beads Antique carved netsuke beads...

Created by hand between 1910-1920, this 21" strand of natural, untreated, Burmese jadeite jade possesses an ethereal, luminous beauty. Though they have been classified as "pale green to near colorless" in the gem lab report, each bead is has its own subtle tone. True, from a distance the beads read as white. But then, step into the shadows and their subtle tones are liberated. The tones are there in the light, too: it's just that sometimes looking isn't enough; you need to look but you also need to see. I think this is a spectacular strand for the subtlety of the tone and the quality of translucence. I've used low light to shoot them, so that you can see how gorgeous they are i the lowest of light. The sixty-two 7.3mm 8.5mm beads have been freshly restrung and a new 18K Japanese...

Antique Tibetan Tribal Necklace Conch Shell Heishi & Old Dzi Beads, Featuring Bronze Ritual Pendant A striking museum-grade Tibetan tribal necklace, hand-assembled from an exceptional selection of antique Himalayan elements. This piece combines richly patinated red discs heishi, natural conch shell spacers, and rare old Tibetan dzi-style beads—each carrying unique symbols, age-wear, and organic texture developed through generations of ceremonial use. At its center hangs an authentic bronze ritual pendant, traditionally worn as a protective talisman by Himalayan nomadic tribes. The warm earth tones of the discs contrast beautifully with the ivory-toned conch and deep black dzi motifs, creating a necklace with profound spiritual resonance and a powerful sculptural presence. This is not a modern reproduction—each bead shows genuine age, hand-carved irregularity, and the tactile history of an object carried through travel, trade, and devotion across Tibet and the Himalayan plateau. A dramatic wearable artifact, equally suited for collectors of ethnographic jewelry and connoisseurs of soulful statement pieces. PROVENANCE Origin: Tibet / Himalayan plateau Period: Late 19th – early 20th century elements, restrung later Collected: From a private Tibetan ethnographic collection, USA Components include: antique discs...
