This amazing necklace will make you feel like a queen! The design has an ancient feel to it, encrusted with multi colored pearls and gemstones and snakes twining all around it. All the stones and pearls are bezel set into heavy sterling silver pieces that are linked together. There are pink, gold, smoky gray, lavender and silvery baroque pearls. I know these are real but as to whether they are natural or cultured I do not know. And for color there are genuine gemstones of Amethyst, Peridot and Citrine cabochons. These are set with openings in the back to allow light to go through. The silver has a gold finish over silver to the textured background with silver to the edges, snakes and reverse side. Beautiful two-tone effect that only enhances it's uniqueness. Notice due to the bales used to attach each link together the pieces do not lay flat against the skin so light comes through and shows off the stones nicely. Stamped 925 on the back. In excellent condition, weighs 43.6 grams.
