A necklace forms a circle with varied stones and crystals on a thin cord. A dark bronze-colored ring holds a translucent sphere at the top, adjacent to a pointed crystal. Flat stone discs and faceted clear beads transition into a marbled amber sphere. The lower curve alternates between rough, pitted grey stones and decorative beads featuring blue and brown eye patterns. Small tan spheres connect the loop on the upper left.
