Vintage 71g Baltic Amber Statement Necklace – Massive 19mm Focal – 14k Gold Restoration
This substantial 71-gram strand is a rare example of high-caliber, natural Baltic Amber. Sourced from a high-value private collection alongside Faturan and collectible Bakelite, these beads exhibit the classic "egg yolk" and "cognac" hues that characterize the finest antique resin.
- Exceptional Weight: At 71g, this is a significant investment-grade asset, far exceeding the weight of standard commercial strands.
- Organic Geometry: The beads are hand-finished with original, manual micro-drilling. Noticeable variations in hole diameter and slight "wonky" alignments confirm a non-factory, artisanal origin.
- Patina of Time: Natural oxidation—the "witness marks" of history—is visible around the drill holes, proving decades of authentic aging.
The Restoration: 14k Gold Construction
To ensure the safety of this heavy strand for another century of wear, the piece has been professionally restrung with premium structural upgrades:
- Clasp: Features the original 14k Yellow Gold hallmarked spring-ring clasp.
- Hardware: The original, undersized gold-filled findings have been replaced with 14k Yellow Gold hollow beads for superior strength and a seamless luxury aesthetic.
- Drape: Meticulously knotted between each bead for security and a perfect 25” drape.
