Necklaces of a single strand or cord such as this example would most often have been worn as just one of a multitude of necklaces, each piece making its visual contribution to a fantastic display of color and pattern. The beading here has been applied with great care, flowing over the cord in a twisting, helical fashion. Two thicker, cylindrical elements punctuate the necklace’s silhouette and act as focus points, both showing diamond motifs of pink and white on black.
