Vintage 1960 Hand Knotted Malachite Bead Necklace Gold Vermil

Gorgeous piece! I would totally keep it but I do not trust myself with things that could potentially disintegrate.. Beautiful clasp Gold over sterling silver Malachite has special rings that are referred to as the peacock's eye. The value a particular piece of Malachite holds is contingent upon many factors including how many rings it has and how visible they are. The larger the piece of gemstone, the higher its value because the more rings will be visible.
