Well ... the necklace is new, the beads are very old. They are made from fossilized Woolly Mammoth bones. Can you believe that?! I bought the strand of beads and restrung them with a few matte black glass beads in between each. It showcases each bead a bit more and gave the whole necklace a little more length. The beads are about the size of smallish grapes and now with the added glass beads the necklace is now about 32" in length.
Ah, how everything old can be made new again. Beautiful and evocative... storied.
