Pearl necklace

Necklace. In the centre of the necklace is a thick tubular wool body, around which coral-coloured glass beads and metal beads are strung on threads in alternating order. Starting from this centrepiece, the pattern is largely identical on both sides of the necklace. A larger silver (?) bead is followed by two pieces of wool edged with black glass beads and two large amber-coloured beads in alternating order, with silver (?) beads as intermediate links between them. Then a light blue glass bead provides the transition to eight bead chains of predominantly black glass beads, with individual red or orange-coloured glass beads. Clasp: The threads of the bead chains are knotted at the end, with a loop on the other side of the chain.
