2500 beads.
If we assume that the width of a bead is 1 millimeter then the total length of the necklace would be around 98 inches.
2500 mm = 250 cm, and 2.54 cm/in
Did I do the math correctly?
oops, I didn’t see the picture.
98 inches of total beads spread out on multiple chains.
Makes sense.
If 1 mm is the average, that would be two and a half meters, but it’s also on multiple parallel strings.
Reconstruction of the art of prehistoric beadmaking shows up in “Mysteries of the Ancient World”, a Questar vid that came out under the Reader’s Digest label. Lots of good stuff on it. Lucky for me, it was peeking out under a pile of debris right by the computer. :^)
