A very unusual vintage Art Deco natural Baltic amber necklace with the amber hand cut into an elegant elliptical disc shapes resembling leaves.
The overlapping leaves are arranged in a striking grouping of egg yolk yellow, honey and cognac colours of amber in a chevron pattern. They are strung on gold coloured silk and the necklace fastens with a concealed barrel clasp also made out of amber. A feminine and dainty necklace it drapes beautifully when worn.
