Carved Abalone and Mother of Pearl Cannabis Leaf Necklace
This is a novelty fashion necklace featuring three prominent pendants carved into the shape of cannabis (marijuana) leaves. The central pendant is crafted from white mother of pearl with a slight matte finish, while the two flanking pendants are carvedจาก iridescent abalone shell, showing characteristic peaks of pink, green, and blue luster. Each leaf features radial etched lines to simulate veining. The pendants are strung on a thin, tan-colored braided cord or liquid silver-style bead string, accented by four irregular turquoise-colored nuggets and two small bird-shaped (fetish) shell beads near the clasp. The construction uses a simple barrel screw clasp, suggesting a contemporary or late 20th-century mass-produced origin rather than high-end fine jewelry. The condition appears fair to good; however, the organic nature of the shell pendants makes them prone to chipping along the pointed serrated edges of the leaf design, and the cord shows some slight signs of tension wear. There are no visible maker's marks or metal purity stamps, indicating the 'metal' components are likely base metal or silver-plated.
