Large vintage double-strand Venetian glass trade bead necklace featuring richly saturated red and ember-toned trade beads paired with a handcrafted mahogany wood clasp.

The substantial cylindrical glass beads display beautiful variation in color and translucency, ranging from deep crimson and brick red to warm orange-red tones. Surface wear, irregularities, and age-related character contribute to the authentic appearance associated with older trade beads.

Measuring approximately 18 inches in length and weighing an impressive 393 grams, this substantial necklace possesses remarkable visual presence. The layered double-strand construction creates depth and movement while the warm translucent beads glow beautifully against the dark mahogany closure.

The handcrafted wooden clasp complements the organic character of the necklace and reinforces its collected, worldly aesthetic.
