Statement Necklace Appraisal

Fabric and Bead Statement Necklace

This is a statement necklace crafted from a combination of fabric and large beads. The necklace features a textile strap, approximately 2-3 inches wide, made from a dark-colored fabric with a vibrant, multi-colored paisley or floral pattern. The strap appears to be padded or constructed to give it some volume, and there's a distinct central section where white vertical stripes are visible against a darker background, possibly indicating a closure mechanism or a design element. The main body of the necklace consists of alternating large, spherical beads. There are two types of beads: solid black, glossy spheres, and fabric-covered spheres. The fabric-covered beads are adorned with the same multi-colored paisley/floral pattern seen on the strap, creating a cohesive visual theme. The beads appear to be of a consistent size, suggesting they are uniformly manufactured. The craftsmanship appears to be folk art or handcrafted in style, with the fabric elements sewn or wrapped around underlying structures. No visible damage such as chips, cracks, or loose threads are discernible from the image, indicating good overall condition. The style suggests a more contemporary or bohemian aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The alternating pattern of solid and fabric-covered beads provides visual interest and texture. The size of the beads indicates it's designed to be a prominent accessory.
