Carnelian Monkey Necklace by Ruth Roman Glass Strand of new Indian silverI am loving these vintage carved carnelian good luck monkeys from China, circa 1970's stock. This necklace chain is 25 inches long with 41 2 inches combined elements. An antique early 1900's enameled leaf, carved turquoise bead, with an old carnelian bead. Chain is oxidized sterling silver with S hook clasp. Designed and assembled by Ruth. See Monkeys listed separately, STASIA1006.
