Fantastic Vintage Black Bakelite Dark Cherry Amber Graduated Bead Necklace

Description

Fantastic Vintage Black Bakelite Dark Cherry Amber Graduated Black Beads Necklace.  The largest bead is 1 Inch (quarter coin size).  The necklace is in excellent condition.  It was restrung but has its original screw bead closure that works very well.  The necklace measures 33" long.  The beads weigh approximately 77 grams.  We know this piece was in the dealers collection for What a striking piece!
Note:  This necklace was tested with Simichrome (yellowish brown on tissue), the necklace did not float like is often the case with amber and it did not flouresce under a black light.  It did show red through when outside against the sun and with a cell phone flashlight.  Please see all photos.  We are not experts on dark cherry amber, this looks black to us without the light.  We know we will have questions on this.
