Bidspirit auction | A Graduated Malachite Bead Necklace

A Graduated Malachite Bead Necklace with White Metal Clasp - A graduated bead necklace composed of spherical malachite beads, each displaying characteristic deep green concentric banding and variegated patterns. The beads are arranged in size order, increasing towards a large central spherical bead. Each stone is individually knotted on a green cord, terminating in a white metal filigree-style box clasp. The necklace is constructed without spacers, allowing the polished surfaces of the malachite to sit adjacent to the knotted cord. A stamped mark is present on the reverse of the clasp, though the characters are not legible as a name or fineness. No other maker's marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
