Multi-Strand Seed Bead and Glass Bead Necklace

This item is a multi-strand necklace, appearing to be crafted from numerous fine strands of silver-tone seed beads interspersed with various sizes and colors of glass accent beads. The necklace features at least four distinct strands, possibly more, which are interconnected at the clasp mechanism. The primary beaded strands are composed of small, uniformly sized silver-colored seed beads, giving the necklace a delicate yet intricate appearance. Scattered along these seed bead strands are larger, irregularly shaped and sized glass beads in vibrant shades of blue, teal, and a bright chartreuse or lime green. Some of the blue beads are transparent and spherical, while others are a darker, more opaque blue. The green beads are primarily transparent or translucent and have a slightly flattened, organic shape, adding visual interest and an artisanal feel. The necklace is fastened with a lobster claw clasp and an extender chain, both in a matching silver tone, suggesting the base metal is likely costume jewelry alloy. The overall length is estimated to be approximately 15 inches from the additional context provided. The item weighs 40 grams, as indicated by the digital scale it rests upon. The construction appears to be hand-strung, with the various beads strategically placed to create a playful and colorful aesthetic. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or signatures. The style suggests a contemporary or modern vintage piece, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed for casual or semi-casual wear. The condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of breakage or significant wear to the beads or metal components. The uniform size of the seed beads and the varied nature of the glass beads point to a commercially produced but possibly artisan-inspired design.
