A Necklace of Tibetan Capped Melon Carnelian Agate and Rudraksha Nut Beads 10127
This is a 24" necklace made of rare Tibetan carved melon-shaped carnelian beads capped with silver, put together with Rudraksha nut beads, old carnelian beads from West Africa, and small silver-plated filigree beads. The S-hook clasp is sterling silver.

An unusual combination of the Nepalese, African, and European traditions.
