Silver Strand of Beads

Diamond-shaped beads with square windows, strung in two long ribbons.

This is a strand of beads. It is coin silver. Coin silver is silver alloyed with copper for strength, and it has long been used for jewelry and amulets. Faceted, elongated beads in bright pale grey with diamond-patterned faces and dark square cut-outs. The facets catch the light along each edge. The beads are consistent in size and sit snug along the strand.

Geometric, tidy and a little bit showy.
