Antique Green Hand Knotted Bead Necklace with Pendant
This lot is an antique green hand knotted bead necklace with pendant, described as 23” in length and as green jade. The necklace is strung on a dark brown cord, with each bead individually knotted between the stones. Its finish is smooth and polished, with a mix of deep and lighter green tones throughout the strand.
The pendant is a large, oval piece in dark green stone with mottled lighter inclusions and a central drilled aperture for suspension. A short cluster of smaller green beads links the pendant to the main strand, creating a distinctive drop. The combination of knotted construction and sculpted stone pendant gives the piece a decorative, individual character.
