Multi-Strand Southwestern Style Statement Necklace

This is a complex, multi-strand statement necklace featuring a vibrant combination of semi-precious gemstones and organic materials. The piece is constructed with two primary parallel strands of blue turquoise beads, between which five large, oval-shaped green turquoise cabochons are vertically oriented. Suspended from the lower blue strand are five pendant drops, each consisting of a round, vibrant red coral disk flanked by smaller blue turquoise spacer beads. The upper portion of the necklace transitions into high-polish black onyx beads, adding a sophisticated textural contrast. The assembly utilizes wire-work and crimp beads, suggesting a handcrafted, contemporary Southwestern ethnic style. The stones exhibit natural variations in color and saturation, characteristic of genuine turquoise and coral. The green turquoise displays a bright, lime-like hue with minimal matrix, while the red coral pieces show natural pits and surface irregularities typical of biological origin. Overall condition appears excellent with no visible fractures in the stones or loose threading. This piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, showcasing high-quality bead-stringing craftsmanship and bold color blocking.
