Sterling Silver Amber Bead Choker Necklace Paperclip Chain Link Beading 12g 16"L

This adorable & delicate looking sterling silver & amber bead choker necklace will make a wonderful addition to your collection. It features a sterling silver 925 chain link form with 3 sections of wired 14 amber nugget style beads with 6 metal spacer beads. The metal tests positive as sterling silver and the amber style beads fluoresce when exposed to ultraviolet light as shown in photos but I am not sure if they are natural Baltic style amber or if they are reconstituted amber. Please note that each section of beads is "wired" with each section being a bit stiff so that they will lay flat and in line rather than curve. Will blend perfectly in collections containing styles such as Turkmen, Middle Eastern, Tribal, North African, Modernist and more.  Please read complete details below and review photos closely for condition. Thank you and enjoy!
