This necklace is very interesting and has a unique natural, handmade character. Polished, irregularly shaped stones are clearly visible. Carnelian has a warm reddish-brown, orange or brown amber hue. Carnelian is a semi-precious quartz group stone, common in antique, ethnic and 20th century jewelry. The chain and wire details indicate handmade connections. The clasp is an antique type of "hook clasp", common in early or mid-20th century jewelry, especially handmade jewelry. The metal is most likely brass or an unmarked metal alloy, slightly darkened (oxidation), which is typical of vintage jewelry.
