OverviewA remarkable vintage Baltic amber graduated bead strand featuring 37 beautifully polished round beads in rich cognac to golden-orange tones.
The beads are carefully graduated in size, beginning at approximately 14.5 mm, with intermediate beads measuring approximately 16 mm and 18.8 mm, and reaching an impressive 23.8 mm at the largest center bead.
Each bead displays its own individual character, with warm translucent amber tones, natural-looking internal variations, darker inclusions, and beautiful depth that becomes especially striking under light.
With a generous length of approximately 27 inches and a substantial total weight of approximately 172.93 grams / 6.1 oz, this is not a lightweight everyday amber necklace. It is a bold and impressive vintage statement strand with considerable presence, suitable for both wearing and collecting.
Because perfectly symmetrical round spheres require cutting away and wasting a massive amount of raw material, amber beads of this magnitude are highly sought after by elite collectors.
This piece was purchased in 1996 and has been carefully kept for approximately 30 years. It remains in excellent vintage condition.
The graduated arrangement gives the strand an elegant visual flow, while the unusually large center beads create a strong statement appearance.
