Authentic vintage hand carved mother of pearl necklace signed Bethlehem on the reverse.
This piece was hand carved in the Holy Land using traditional nacre carving techniques. The pendant features a dimensional pierced star medallion with a finely carved dragonfly at the center, suspended from a strand of individually linked natural shell beads.
The Bethlehem signature is hand engraved, consistent with mid 20th century workshop craftsmanship.
Beautiful luminous nacre with natural tonal variation and age appropriate patina to the metal links.
A collectible example of traditional Holy Land shell artistry.

I’m a thrifter reseller and handmade jewelry maker. Ive been thrifting for 50 years. I started when I was 12 when I bought my first thrifted antique gothic style hematite bracelet. I still have it to this day. I love jewelry and search for cool items and love to create my own with mixed metals and stones.
I collect vintage teapots and porcelain rabbits. I Love making jewelry as it allows me to express my inner love for pretty things. I also love the old cookbooks.
