Antique Yellow-Orange Amber Chinese Court Necklace, Mala, 19th Century
Located in New York, NY
From the private collection of a noted New York City jewelry designer whose work was featured at Bergdorf Goodman, a fine intense yellow-orange translucent natural amber 108 bead court necklace, mala. The beads are gem quality, measuring 12mm-13mm with fine crazing indicating good age, excellent electrical charge attraction, some natural inclusions.
These types of necklaces, sometimes referred to as Mandarin chain or official court beads, were worn as status symbols in China by the members of the Chinese court during the Qing Dynasty, 1644-1912. Embellishments such as counter beads, spacers, plaques and pendants were often a part of these necklaces. Officials sometimes used them as abacuses for business calculations and as worry beads for relaxation, as an amulet and a mark of power and social prestige.
Amber is associated with the powers of attraction and benefits of good communication. Natural golden yellow amber is warm to the touch, like holding a piece of sunlight in the palm of your hand. It also produces an electrical charge when rubbed, thus having the power of attraction, similar to the way being friendly has the effect of drawing people to you. In Buddhist practice, amber serves as a reminder to avoid harsh speech and practice kindly communication.
