Turquoise Beaded Statement Necklace with Large Pendant

This is a statement necklace primarily crafted from various forms of turquoise beads. The necklace features a prominent, large circular pendant measuring approximately 2-3 inches in diameter, made of a flattened turquoise-like material with a distinct black or dark grey matrix, exhibiting a "spiderweb" pattern that is characteristic of some natural turquoise or a convincing imitation. The main body of the necklace consists of multiple strands of small, irregularly shaped turquoise chip beads, giving it a chunky and organic appearance. These chip beads are predominantly a vibrant, robin's egg blue color. Interspersed along the strands are larger, polished spherical beads in a lighter, almost pastel turquoise hue. Some of these spherical beads, particularly closer to the top of the necklace, are carved or etched with what appear to be floral or abstract scroll patterns, adding a decorative element. Small, clear or translucent faceted glass or crystal spacer beads are also visible between some of the turquoise components, providing subtle sparkle and helping to separate the different bead types. The necklace construction appears to involve multiple strands converging towards the pendant. The overall color palette is dominated by various shades of blue-green. Given the varied shapes and matrices, the turquoise could be natural, stabilized, or reconstituted, or even a simulant. The craftsmanship suggests a handmade or artisan-produced piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. No obvious damage such as chips, cracks, or repairs are visible on the beads or pendant from the image provided, though detailed inspection would be required to confirm the material's authenticity and absence of minute flaws. The condition appears very good, with no visible tarnishing on any potential metal components, though the clasp is not visible in the presented image.
