Mixed Agate and Semi-Precious Stone Chunky Statement Necklace

This is a substantial statement necklace composed of various polished semi-precious stone beads, primarily varieties of agate and quartz. The piece features a graduated design with a large triangular pendant at the center (partially visible). The beads exhibit a diverse palette of earth tones, including steely grays, translucent tans, cream marbled with brown, and muted sage greens. The construction utilizes several bead shapes: large smooth ovals, faceted rectangular barrels, and smaller spherical accent beads. The necklace is strung on a durable cord and finished with a silver-toned metal lobster claw clasp and an extender chain, allowing for adjustable length. The natural stones show characteristic internal inclusions and banding typical of cryptocrystalline quartz. The condition appears to be excellent with a high-polish finish on all stones; no visible chips or cracks are noted in the image. This style of 'bold earthy' jewelry is characteristic of late 20th-century to contemporary artisanal design, prioritizing the raw aesthetic of natural minerals. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the careful selection of complementary textures and the secure finishing of the metallic findings.
