Green best and black beaded necklace

Stunning beaded necklace of black onyx, malachite and hand-painted Asian beads best in shades of green, blue and dark red. Measuring 17” long and having no clasp, this necklace is quite striking and its color palette will work well in all seasons. The six hand-painted beads are separated from the malachite by smaller gold colored spacers. Hand knotted. No maker's mark so difficult to determine exact age. Would be beautiful and subtle over simple black shirt or eye catching paired with white or any other lighter color. A great holiday gift for the jewelry lover!
