Red Beaded Necklace with Peach Bead Accent

This item is a necklace, approximately 18-20 inches in length, crafted from numerous small, faceted beads that appear to be made of glass or a similar synthetic material, mimicking the appearance of garnets or rubies. The beads exhibit a rich, deep red to burgundy coloration, with some displaying hints of translucence and iridescence, particularly when catching the light. The construction technique involves multiple strands of these small beads intricately twisted or woven together, creating a textured, almost rope-like appearance. At intervals along the length, larger, more prominently faceted beads, possibly larger glass beads or composite elements, are incorporated, adding visual interest and creating a clustered, floral-like motif. Near what appears to be the clasp or a central focal point, there is a prominent, smooth, round bead, likely made of a lighter, opaque material such as ceramic, stone, or even plastic, in a light peach or blush color, which stands out against the dark red. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant damage such as broken beads or fraying. The craftsmanship suggests a handmade or artisan piece, given the intricate beading and the unique arrangement of the beads. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps visible in the provided images. The style appears contemporary, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century. The quality indicators include the uniform faceting of the small beads and the consistent tension of the stringing, which suggests a thoughtful construction process.
