I picked up these African beads from an African seller at a small stand in Tucson this past February. He told me they are hundreds of years old, and I believe him. There are 3 sterling silver beads that ornament the bottom of the necklace. I love the color combination of violet and mauve, with a little silver pop.
This necklace measure 17 inches long. It sits neatly on your collarbones, is comfortable so you may forget you're wearing it, and is going to be your next "cannot leave the house without" item!!
