A beautiful long strand of graduated malachite beads which we found in England. They graduate from 10-14mm and are knotted and joined by silver links to a large, round malachite cabochon clasp, closed-back set in a dog-tooth silver mount. The stones are well matched and have a wonderful weight. The semicircular clasp has a deep tongue with a good ‘clicking’ sound when pushed in.

English, mid-1800’s.

Length: 28 ½”
