Amber necklace with a Tibetan turquoise bead set in silver

A vibrant, long necklace made of honey-colored amber beads, ranging in hue from light gold to warm cognac—many of the beads feature dark, branching inclusions inside, making each one a one-of-a-kind piece. The necklace is finished with a large, barrel-shaped turquoise bead in a rich blue-green hue with dark matrix markings, set at the top and bottom in embossed silver caps from a Tibetan silver workshop featuring leaf motifs, with a gold-colored tassel below. 

Amber and turquoise are classic materials in Tibetan jewelry and have appeared together on necklaces and amulet cases for centuries. Three small turquoise beads set between granulated silver rondelles divide the strand; the necklace is individually knotted and has no clasp.
