Amber Necklace with Turquoise, Coral, and Dzi Bead

A vibrant, long necklace made of honey-colored amber beads, whose hues range from light gold to deep cognac—many of the beads feature dark, branched inclusions that make each one unique. Turquoise and coral beads break up the strand in two places, and the necklace is finished with a modern dzi bead made of dark agate featuring a gold-colored tassel.

Amber, turquoise, and coral form the classic combination of materials in Tibetan jewelry: They have appeared together for centuries on headdresses, amulet cases, and necklaces, and were worn as symbols of wealth and status. The necklace is individually knotted and features no clasp.
