DescriptionA necklace with a chain made of burnt orange glass beads sandwiched in between half-sphere pieces of metal with a small, black bead at either end. These strands of beads attach to heart-shaped metal pieces that are decorated with feathers and floral designs. Three much larger, spherical beads in a mustard yellow lie between the strands and the metal pieces. From these metal designs are attached another strand with three mustard yellow beads, along with four strings of the smaller beads. One of these is a long strand of the smaller beads and it connects the two metal pieces together. The rest of the strands hang down where four attach to a large metal piece that mirrors the two smaller metal pieces and the other strand, which is much shorter, ends in a teardrop-shaped mustard yellow glass bead. Five short strands of beads hang from the bottom of the large metal piece. The necklace has a narrow hook closure with a spherical yellow bead on the end of the opposite strand.
