Multi-Strand Beaded Necklace with Floral Pendant

This is a decorative multi-strand necklace, primarily featuring black seed beads for the main body. The necklace consists of several braided or tightly strung strands of these black beads, giving it a substantial yet intricate appearance. A prominent focal point is a large, multi-layered black floral pendant situated at the center, crafted from smooth, polished black beads arranged to mimic petals. The center of this black floral element is adorned with smaller, faceted beads in shades of light blue, pink, and clear, providing a subtle sparkle and contrast. Cascading from beneath the central floral pendant are multiple dangling strands of smaller, faceted glass or acrylic beads. These dangles exhibit a vibrant and diverse color palette, including shades of blue, pink, amber, clear, and occasional darker red or black beads. Some of the dangling beads appear to be teardrop or leaf-shaped, adding variety to the overall texture and movement. The craftsmanship suggests it may be a handmade or artisan piece, given the variation in bead shapes and colors among the dangles. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image. The general style points to a contemporary or modern costume jewelry piece, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, extensive wear, or missing beads, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm the integrity of all strands and finishes. The black beads of the main necklace and pendant have a smooth, possibly slightly matte finish, while the colorful dangles are highly faceted, designed to catch and reflect light. This piece combines a bold central design with delicate, playful elements.
