This auction ended on November 20, 2025.

Estimated price: £300 - £500

Buyer's Premium: 18%

Sold for: £230

A two-strand Cherry Amber Bakelite beaded necklace, featuring numerous graduating, polished, and uniformly dark red, translucent barrel-shaped beads, individually knotted on a light brown cord. The longer strand showcases significantly larger beads towards the center, while the shorter strand consists of smaller, more uniform beads. The beads exhibit a high gloss finish and, when backlit, display a strong orange-red internal glow, characteristic of cherry amber or certain thermoset plastics. No clasp is visible, suggesting it may be a continuous loop or the clasp is obscured.
