Two-Tone Seed Bead Floral Pattern Necklace

This is a long, intricately beaded necklace crafted from small, uniform seed beads in two distinct colors: a dark navy blue and an opaque white. The necklace features a repeating pattern of white bead links forming an elongated oval or figure-eight shape, alternating with distinct clusters of navy blue beads configured into a small, stylized four-petal floral or 'daisy' motif. Each blue 'flower' appears to have a single white bead at its center, creating a striking contrast and adding depth to the pattern. The construction suggests a traditional beadwork technique, likely strung on a fine thread or filament, with the beads tightly woven to maintain the integrity of the shapes. The length of the necklace indicates it could be worn doubled or as a single long strand, perhaps even as a waist chain. No visible clasps or closures are apparent, suggesting it might be designed as a continuous loop. There are no obvious signs of damage, wear, or repairs from the image provided. The beads appear clean and well-maintained. The craftsmanship seems consistent, indicating careful handwork. Without a maker's mark or specific identifying features, determining a precise manufacturing origin or age is challenging, but the style is reminiscent of contemporary artisan beadwork or possibly folk art. The quality of the beadwork appears high, with uniform bead placement and consistent tension in the stringing.
