Beautiful string of amber -- original stringing?

I wish.

No, the original gave out and I spun and plied flax for the sting and then adding the silver endings I felt it was best to leave it alone and do any more

Amber necklaces will always be a must for us collectors, beautiful necklace!

Wonderful! Are those leather pieces between the beads? Were they part of the original string?

yes, leather.

Some are and others I added for protection of the ambers.

Wish they didn't chip so easily.
