This is a choker style necklace made of gold colored wire that is shown unclasped. To our left is the opening. At the bottom of the circular wire hangs a metal pendant with six teardrop shaped beads set in a flower pattern around a round bead. Small gold colored beads dangle from the pendant. To our right of the pendant, there is a row of small, salmon-colored beads. Dangling from each bead are two smaller green beads. To our left of the pendant, there is a band of round gold beads, round pearls, and a single round red bead. Twisted pieces of wire decorate the necklace to the clasp.
