One emerald cluster necklace ready to adorn and embellish a beautiful lady!
N.B. The emerald green beads are vintage faceted trade beads bought in Africa - they were produced in Bohemia around the early 1900s and taken to Africa by colonizers and traders to be exchanged for local goods.
If you like this, have a look at my shop where I have a similar cluster necklace on sale!
