These are contemporary necklaces made by Malian artisans of beads of antiquity. The clay beads are the smallest excavated clay beads ever found in the Sahara Desert. They were made in prehistoric times, potentially thousands of years ago, in enormous quantities and have been found in the ruins of old villages in the middle of the Sahara Desert In Mali. Accomplished jewelry designers in Mali have incorporated them, together with other vintage and modern components to make stunning necklaces for you.

The necklaces' circumference ranges from 15 1/2 to 19" (51 to 60 cm)
