Vintage MOP necklace Enamel Sacred heart Religious medal mother of pearl beads

Unavailable
This vintage Mother of pearl necklace ( beads and pendant) are hand carved and absolutely breathtaking. The pendant is huge ( 3" long) and on the back is an old sacred heart medal with green enamel. The front is raised relief in three layers. I can't even imagine how long it would take to carve this. The beads are oval and each is 1/2" long and all original to the necklace. Folklore says that mother of pearl contains the healing powers of the sea. I would say that this necklace was given to someone who was very Spiritual and who traveled throughout the world.
