Pink Howlite and Cultured Pearl Beaded Necklace
This decorative necklace features a combination of multi-media beads arranged in a repeating pattern. The primary elements are irregular, nugget-shaped pink howlite beads (likely dyed howlite to mimic pink turquoise) exhibiting dark matrix-like veining. These are interspersed with small white cultured freshwater pearls and polished metallic silver-tone round spacer beads. The necklace is styled with a large, decorative silver-tone spring ring clasp (bolt ring) which serves as a focal point at the front. Suspended from this clasp is a lariat-style drop consisting of a pearl, two metal spacers, and a significantly larger pink howlite focal pendant that has a prominent lumpy, organic texture. The assembly uses bead wire or thread ending in crimps. No visible hallmarks or maker's signatures are present in the image. The condition appears to be good with consistent coloration and no missing components, though there is a slight patina on the metallic findings. The piece reflects a contemporary handcrafted aesthetic from the late 20th or early 21st century, focusing on naturalistic shapes and high contrast colors.
