Mandarin Chain Bead Necklace
A long necklace of pale yellow beads punctuated by large pink spheres, with a central pendant of a pink stone set in an enamelled gilt frame. Pink bead strands and green-tipped drops hang below, and a purple silk cord runs down the center.
Look closer: Small green-tipped drops and seed pearl caps hang at the lower ends of the pink bead strands.
