Artisanal Chalcedony and Aquamarine Beaded Necklace with Sterling Silver

This handcrafted necklace features a prominent, asymmetrical drop pendant fashioned from a large, frosted translucent sea-green specimen, identified as chalcedony. The pendant boasts a natural, organic shape with a smooth matte finish and a visible center ridge, suspended from a sterling silver bail. Below the main stone hangs a small decorative bunch of faceted clear crystal or aquamarine beads arranged in a fan-like tassel. The primary strand is composed of faceted, high-clarity round beads (likely aquamarine or clear quartz) that transition into a delicate section of tiny white seed pearls or seed beads at the neckline. The piece is secured with a polished sterling silver magnetic or box-style clasp. The construction demonstrates artisanal quality with careful wire-wrapping and symmetrical bead placement. The overall aesthetic is contemporary and bohemian-chic, likely dating to the late 20th to early 21st century. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the stones or significant tarnish on the silver components. The combination of varied textures—from the frosted chalcedony to the high-shine faceted beads and matte pearls—suggests a high level of design intentionality.
