Description
A contemporary artisan bib-style statement necklace featuring intricate bead embroidery. The central decorative section is composed of multiple polished cabochons including two reddish-orange carnelian or agate stones, two irregular turquoise-coloured stones with visible matrix, a central banded yellow-brown agate, a large circular banded purple and white agate, a small rectangular tiger’s eye, and two iridescent blue glass faceted stones. At the base is a single dark blue pear-shaped cabochon. These stones are individually framed with seed beads in metallic silver, gold, bronze, and iridescent blue finishes. The necklace is suspended from two wide straps with multi-strand beadwork. The reverse of the bib and straps is finished with a grey and black felt-like material. The piece is secured with a silver-toned metal lobster claw clasp and a short extender chain. No maker’s marks or hallmarks are present.
