An opulent string of barrel and spherical glass beads of cobalt blue hues and 18 modern barrel beads of a lustrous golden hue arranged in an alternating pattern at the area opposite the clasp and featuring 2 spherical cobalt blue glass beads and 1 modern golden bead at their center, acting as a pendant.
