Contemporary Mixed-Media Statement Necklace

This item is a contemporary bib-style statement necklace featuring a multi-strand cord and organic decorative elements. The upper portion of the necklace is constructed from multiple thin cords, likely waxed cotton or silk, in a dark chocolate brown or black hue, which lead to a silver-toned metal extender chain and lobster-style clasp. The focal point is a decorative center section comprising five irregularly shaped, metallic-finished drops that resemble abstract petals or melted organic forms. These drops exhibit a hammered or textured surface with a high-shine pewter or darkened silver finish. Interspersed between these metallic drops are small white freshwater pearls and dark, possibly garnet-colored or amber glass beads, which provide color contrast and a naturalistic aesthetic. The construction utilizes crimp beads and metal loops to secure the components, indicating hand-assembled boutique jewelry. While no visible maker's mark is present, the style is characteristic of late 20th to early 21st-century artisanal jewelry, specifically mimicking the organic 'brutalist' revival often seen in contemporary design. The overall condition appears good with minor surface tarnish on the metal components and some slight kinking in the cord strands from storage.
