Artisan Mixed Media Bead Necklace with Sterling Silver Spacers

This artisan-crafted necklace features a complex arrangement of multi-material beads. The focal elements include vibrant saffron-yellow spherical wooden or resin beads decorated with black transfer-printed or hand-painted botanical motifs. These are interspersed with a variety of spacer beads, including dark, smooth stone-like rondelles and highly textured, oxidized metallic beads. Based on the accompanying tag data, these metallic components are .925 sterling silver, many featuring a 'pumpkin' or fluted ribbing design that adds significant tactile interest. Larger, flat yellow-orange components visible at the periphery suggest a chunky, statement-style construction. The condition shows moderate wear; the black ink on the yellow beads exhibits some fading and edge loss, particularly where it contacts other beads. The silver components show a heavy intentional patina and some minor surface abrasions, consistent with a contemporary ethnic-style or 'boho' jewelry piece from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-quality handmade assembly rather than mass-produced factory output.
