this 20" necklace features bright yellow-green howlite and milky multicolor opalite faceted slabs, yellow glass African trade beads, white buffalo bone rondelles, and carved white buffalo teeth.
African trade beads are hand-made and crafted by African metal smiths
who are skilled in forging and fabricating beads and casting metal
using the lost wax technique. this has been a large part of the African
culture for MANY MANY MANY years and these beads were once traded and
used as money. these are over 75 years old and are truly a collector's
piece.
