Carnelian Monkey Necklace by Ruth Burkina Faso Charming and very rare VenetianI am loving these vintage carved carnelian good luck monkeys from China, circa 1970's stock. This necklace chain is 23 inches long with 6 1 2 inches combined elements. An antique early 1900's coin silver pendant with cast fist holder, with an old carnelian bead. Chain is oxidized sterling silver with S hook clasp. Designed and assembled by Ruth. See Monkeys listed separately, STASIA1006.
