Silver Necklace

Multiple strands of dented round beads and tiny stacked discs lie like a woven band.

This is a coin silver necklace. Necklaces of silver beads and links are a long-standing part of traditional jewelry in many regions, and the metal softens in tone with wear. Four rows of beads show round bulging spheres alternating with clusters of small, flat, ridged discs. The surfaces are worn and softly tarnished, mostly gray with hints of warmer brown, against dark fabric.

Patient stringing, repeated until the rows ran out.
