The amber necklace seen here was shortened and slightly rearranged. Although the photograph makes the beads look pretty red, they are actually a tawny orange color, at best. The materials are probably Burmese and Borneoan.

The lower necklace features a silver pendant from Chile, depicting a human figure. Although these are not actually rare, it's not every day you see this old stuff anymore. I have strung it on braided leather lines, with a button for a closure.
