Artisan Silver and Aventurine Beaded Necklace

This is a handcrafted necklace featuring a central rectangular bead of what appears to be aventurine, flanked by silver components and smaller round aventurine beads. The primary colors are a soft, translucent green for the beads and a polished silver-tone for the metal elements. The necklace is constructed with a series of gently curved, tubular silver beads alternating with small, round silver spacer beads and the green aventurine beads. There are eight round green beads in total, four on each side of the central rectangular bead, which serves as a focal point. The central rectangular bead has rounded edges and a polished finish, exhibiting natural variations in its green hue, suggesting genuine stone. The silver components appear to be uniformly polished, displaying visible reflections. The overall aesthetic suggests an artisan, possibly Southwestern or contemporary, design. There are no immediately visible maker's marks or signatures from the provided image. The condition appears good with a consistent finish, though minor surface wear consistent with age and occasional use might be present on closer inspection. The absence of a clasp in the image suggests it might be a slip-on style if long enough, or the clasp is located on the back, not visible. The craftsmanship suggests attention to detail in bead selection and arrangement, indicative of a quality piece without being overly ornate.
