Indian Silver Necklace

Faceted smoky beads in graduated sizes crowd together for a very serious necklace.

This onyx and silver necklace is from India, and is contemporary. Silver is soft and bright, and jewelers in India have long worked it by hand into beads, links and clasps. Short strand of chunky, many-sided beads in glossy black, grey and charcoal, some with pale banding. The beads increase in size toward the center front and sit tightly side by side with no spacers. It is 20 inches long.

Heavy, shiny and perfectly happy to be noticed.
