Turquoise and Bronze Seed Bead Braided Statement Necklace

This item is a statement necklace, meticulously crafted from numerous strands of small seed beads, primarily in a vibrant turquoise hue, interspersed with a darker, possibly bronze or charcoal-colored bead. The beads are tightly woven or braided together to form a substantial, wide, and somewhat flattened ropelike structure, creating a textured and organic appearance. The overall shape suggests it's designed to lie flat against the décolletage when worn. The visible length, though not precisely measurable from the image, appears to be suitable for a collar or choker style, or perhaps a short princess length. The closure mechanism consists of dark, likely oxidized metal components, including an extender chain, a lobster clasp, and a jump ring, indicating adjustability in length. The transition from the beaded body to the metal clasp components is handled by what appears to be a metal bead cap or conical end piece, possibly made of a dark-colored wood or a dark metal, which neatly gathers the many beaded strands. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images. The condition appears to be good; no significant wear, damage, or missing beads are apparent. The craftsmanship in the beading seems consistent and uniform, suggesting good quality. The style is contemporary, possibly bohemian or artisan-inspired, likely dating from the last couple of decades.
