Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It is a beautiful amber necklace. Such vintage jewellery are being offered at auction on a regular basis.
The design of the necklace and the shape and size of the beads makes the necklace very special. It is unusual to see amber this transparent and clear. The different amber types origin from different areas in the world and experts within this field will be able to determine where the amber was found. Amber jewellery was very popular in the early to middle of the 1900s. And the design of your necklace leads me to believe that it was made in this period of time.
I believe that the necklace would attract the attention of both collectors and dealers if it came up for auction.
The estimate provided is for a well-advertised specialised online jewellery auction, where I believe the necklace has the best chance of realising its fullest potential. However, there is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the amber necklace. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I’m happy to help.
Thank you
is this necklace still available?
