Not all vintage wood bead necklaces were created equal! Ive collected wood bead necklaces from the 1950s thru the 1980s for 40 years now. (My collection is limited and I only have a few more to list. These are rare and unusual designs and they do sell quickly.)

The day is fast approaching when women will wish they had to foresight to collect vintage wood bead necklaces. Not every wood bead necklace, but those composed of unique vintage beads from various types of wood from around the world. They are fast becoming hard to find but many people just dont know anything about old wood beads.

This striking tropical hard wood necklace is a very unique design that was made in Costa Rica in the 1980s. This dramatic handmade necklace is a very rare design. I doubt you will ever see another one like it! It is a design that is no longer being made. If you are not familiar with Costa Rican tropical hard wood jewelry, get to know it! It is the most beautiful and unique tropical hardwood jewelry made anywhere in the world, and it is not easy to get.

The necklace is two draped tiers of large hand carved leaves and berries. Look at the backs of the leaves and you can see the knife marks. The berries are stained with natural pigments in a wide range of soft colors that have the look of marble. The colors are earth green, blue, honey, brown, dark brown, purple, and pink.

There are 8 leaves on the necklace each 2" long x 1 1/4" wide. The berries range in size from 3/8" to 5/8" wide. When clasped, the shortest strand is 24" long and the longest is 28". The entire necklace is in pristine like new condition and has never been worn. The wood is clean and vibrant with no damage or imperfections. Marks that look like scratches are just the natural grain of the wood.

This necklace is from my private collection of unique carved wood jewelry.

Comes gift wrapped and shipped in a new presentation jewelry box.

This necklace is a flower design as the wood is carved into waves that look like flower petals. It is incomprehensible how these unique flowers were made, not to mention the top-quality tropical hard wood used.

There are 3 types of exotic tropical hard woods in reddish-browns all with bold wood grain. There are a total of 12 wooden petals and each is 1 3/4"wide x 3/8" thick. The top is finished with large metal beads in copper and antiqued pewter finishes, each about 1" wide.

The necklace is strung on wide cinnamon cloth cord that was handmade as well. It can be tied anywhere between 15 " to 30" long. The entire necklace is in pristine like new condition and has never been worn. The wood is clean and vibrant with no damage or imperfections.
