Assorted Gemstone Pendant Necklaces on Adjustable Cords

This collection features six individual pendant necklaces, each showcasing a unique polished gemstone or mineral specimen attached to an adjustable cord. The gemstones vary in shape, size, and geological composition, displaying a range of natural colors and patterns. The top pendant appears to be a moss agate or similar stone with mottled green, brown, and translucent white areas, exhibiting an organic, rounded rectangular form. Below it is another lighter-colored stone, possibly a type of quartz or jasper, with a distinct internal crystalline structure visible through a smooth, almost polished surface, and an irregular, flattened shape with a natural-looking hole for attachment. The third pendant from the top is a light grey to off-white, irregularly shaped, somewhat elongated stone, suggestive of a naturally tumbled or minimally shaped piece, possibly a type of chert or flint. The fourth pendant is a deeply polished, rich plum or reddish-purple stone, cut into a distinct triangular shape with rounded edges, indicating intentional shaping. The fifth features a reddish-brown and white mottled stone, possibly a jasper or sardonyx, in an oval or elongated rounded form. The bottom pendant is particularly distinctive, shaped like a five-petal flower, exhibiting swirls of light blue, white, and green, indicative of ocean jasper or similar variegated agate. Each pendant is attached to a cord, which appears to be a durable material like waxed cotton or a synthetic blend, in varying shades of black, dark brown, and olive green. The cords are designed with adjustable sliding knots, two of which are secured with small, round, white beads (possibly shell or stone), allowing for customization of length. The overall condition appears good, with no visible significant chips or cracks on the polished stones. The cords show minimal signs of wear. The craftsmanship suggests handmade or artisan-produced pieces, emphasizing the natural beauty of the stones. The style period is likely contemporary, given the cord material and adjustable design.
