- This exquisite necklace is crafted for a young woman, featuring a delicate white cloth neckband adorned with intricate narrow strips of black material. The striking contrast is enhanced by flat bead strips that showcase a vibrant palette of colours, including lush green, sunny yellow, deep blue, and crisp white. A fringe of finely braided black threads adds an elegant touch, softly swaying with movement. The design incorporates charming flat knob sticks, providing a unique textural element. The chosen yellow and green beads symbolise fertility, infusing the piece with deeper meaning and significance. This necklace elegantly blends traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary aesthetic, making it a beautiful statement accessory.
