Indian Necklace

Pale green beads, linked one by one on gold.

This necklace was made in India and is gold, with no date given. Jewelry of small linked beads is common across the subcontinent, worn both daily and for celebration. Here a single strand of translucent pale green beads, each wrapped and joined to the next, forms a delicate chain. The beads are faceted and slightly uneven in size, and the links glint warmly between them. It is shown on a black velvet bust.

About fifteen inches long. Quiet enough for daily wear, interesting enough to be asked about.
