Ancient Glass, Stone, Ceramic with Silver Beaded Necklace - Rita Okrent Collection (NE580)

RARE FIND: only one in our inventory

This lightweight, elegant necklace brings together centuries of craft — rare ancient glass and stone beads from the West African trade routes, a ceramic Pre-Columbian amulet, and handcrafted sterling silver and metal beads.

Measures 20" with a 1.7 inch drop for the central pendant.

At the heart of the necklace is a Pre-Columbian spindle whorl pendant, adorned with a classic circle-dot motif, sourced by Rita in the early 1980's for use in her own designs. The necklace is finished with one of our handmade sterling silver hook and double-eye clasps, also crafted by Rita.

A wearable piece of history!
