A silver gilt necklace features a horizontal band of vertical, ribbed plates. A central circular medallion with a blue stone is flanked by these plates, with numerous flat silver discs dangling from chains along the bottom. This ornamental section is attached to a purple textile base that extends into long, twisted cords ending in frayed tassels. The metallic fringe provides movement, while the purple cords stretch the piece into a wide, horizontal silhouette.
