Up for sale is a breathtaking, authentic antique natural garnet bead necklace dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. This investment-grade heirloom features a rare configuration of large, gem-grade natural garnets boasting exceptional clarity and a fiery, translucent orange-red glow under light.Gemstone & Structural DetailsGemstone Type: 100% Natural Pyrope-Almandine Garnet (Verified via natural weak magnetism and high specific gravity).Bead Size: Substantial ~8.1mm round beads (highly rare for natural garnet of this size and clarity).Necklace Length: 26 Inches (Classic Matinee length).Total Weight: 46.65 Grams (Heavy, dense, and substantial in the hand).Stringing: Expertly hand-knotted on durable, color-matched silk threading between every single bead.Clasp DetailsThe necklace secures with its original, period-correct oval push-in tongue and box clasp. The mechanical slide mechanism functions flawlessly and snaps tightly shut. The reverse side of the clasp is stamped with a historic, generic "SILVER" hallmark, indicating solid precious metal content typical of European estate exports from the era.Condition ReportOverall Condition: Excellent Antique / Estate Condition.Gemstones: The 8.1mm garnet beads are beautifully polished with zero structural cracks or major chips. Because they are natural, earth-mined stones, they feature micro-surface variations under a loupe but show immaculate, glassy optical clarity to the naked eye.Threading: The hand-knotted silk thread remains structurally sound, clean, tight, and strong. There is no significant stretching or fraying between the beads.Metal Clasp: The solid silver clasp exhibits a gorgeous, authentic antique patina. It has not been aggressively chemically cleaned, preserving its historic character. The push-tab mechanism locks securely.
