Exquisite Sandalwood, Coral and Bodhi Tree Seeds Necklace

Gorgeous Sandalwood, Coral and Bodhi Tree Seeds Necklace

This very special vintage necklace is made of tiny natural Sandalwood beads, tiny Coral or Coral color beads (they are too small for me to tell for sure, so I will not state they are) with two large Bodhi Tree seeds.  Buddha attained Enlightenment while meditating under a Bodhi Tree.  There are 20 strands that meet at the seeds.

Overall length is approximately 26".  Closes with a hand made brass clasp. The strands are finished with gold thread at the ends. There are no marks. Date estimated to be the 1980s.  The scent of Sandalwood can be revived by rubbing essential oil of Sandalwood on the beads, if desired. It has no perfume now since it is at least 30 years old. The essential oil evaporates.

There is something very magical and special about this necklace. It feels wonderful when worn.
