Mixed Amazonite and Multi-Stone Beaded Necklace with Teardrop Pendant

This is a bohemian-style beaded necklace featuring approximately 4mm round semi-precious stone beads, primarily amazonite in varying shades of light aqua and pale green, interspersed with occasional smoky quartz, grey jasper, and cream-colored beads. The stones are hand-knotted on a brown cord, a construction technique that prevents the beads from rubbing against one another and ensures the stones remain secure if the strand breaks. The focal point is a single, bezel-set teardrop or pear-shaped cabochon pendant, likely amazonite, measuring roughly 15mm in length. The pendant is encased in a gold-finished metal rim with a simple bail. The necklace features a lobster claw clasp and a gold-toned extender chain ending in a small bead charm, allowing for adjustable length. The metal components show signs of base metal construction with a gold-colored plating, indicated by slight tarnishing or wear on the edges of the extender links. The beads appear to be in good condition with natural inclusions and variations typical of earth-mined minerals. This piece likely dates to the late 20th or early 21st century, falling into the category of boutique fashion jewelry with high-quality natural stone components rather than fine jewelry.
