The warm, sun-baked carnelian trade beads have been worn along caravan routes and traded across the Sahara for centuries; the geometric enamel pendant reflects the metalworking traditions of skilled artisans for whom every mark carried meaning. This necklace dates to the mid-to-late 20th century (c. 1960s–1980s), authenticated by its materials, construction, and the genuine aged patina of the pendant's geometric etchings. It is not a reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e✦ \u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent vintage condition.\u003c\/strong\u003e All 151 grams of beads are present, intact, and secure.
