DescriptionA necklace made from a variety of green beads and stones, and metal pieces of various sizes. Its clasps are at the ends of two strands of spherical, iridescent green glass beads attached with tiny metal rings. Each bead has a tiny black bead above and below it. This single strand of beads lies around the back of the wearer's neck. each one becomes two strands for three and two beads respectively. These attach to a large metal piece in the form of a flower with a decorated border. A larger, spherical green bead hangs off the outer side of each piece. Next are two more strands of iridescent beads, two and three respectively. These attach to a large metal piece in the form of a woman's face with the head of a rooster bursting from its crown. This image is framed by decorative swirls and floral designs. Light and dark green stones are affixed around the border with two large ones at its base. One very large, teardrop-shaped stone hangs beneath. It is light blue and textured. Green beads hang on either side with the larger of the two coupled with an iridescent bead.On View
