- Adorning the neck is a striking necklace composed of five elegant tubes, each featuring a unique colour combination: a deep navy paired with crisp white, vibrant orange combined with soft white, a refreshing green alongside a bright white, a lively blend of orange, white, and sunny yellow, and finally, a harmonious mix of green, blue, and white. Interspersed among these tubes are exquisite pearls in shades of pristine white, delicate pink, sunny yellow, and lush green, adding a touch of elegance.
