Carnelian Monkey Necklace by Ruth amulet Ancient quartz bicone bead excavatedI am loving these vintage carved carnelian good luck monkeys from China, circa 1970's stock. This necklace chain is 22 inches long with 4 inches combined elements. An antique early 1900's jade donut in antique setting with old carnelian bead and small bell. Chain is oxidized sterling silver with S hook clasp. Designed and assembled by Ruth. See Monkeys listed separately, STASIA1006.
