Description: These very unique beads are from the estate of an avid Native American and Southwest U.S.A. jewelry collector. Based on the other pieces in the collection, I believe these are Native American trade / tourist beads. The wood beads are swirl painted like much Native American Indian pottery. Graduated beads are interspersed with metallic glass spacer beads. I was somewhat unsure if this was a necklace or bracelet. If a bracelet it would wrap around twice. 14" would be a tight choker on me, but certainly possible on a different woman. Note: I am listing a companion necklace today. See eBay item #235914353632. Combined shipping always applies!Maker's marks: None Approximate age: 1930's - 1940's Dimensions: 14" total length. Condition: Good giftable condition. Mentionable issue: 1) paint erosion commiserate with age and use, and 2) retied cord as seen in last two photos. Beads free from breaks or chips. Unpacked weight: 1.4 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
