DescriptionA large triple-strand coral and coin necklace. The three staggered strands are attached to one thin one so that they fall in three layers down the front. The thin back strand is made of glass bugle beads interspersed with small coins. The other three strands alternate between coral beads (strung perpendicularly to the thread) and small coins. In the center of the outermost strand is a thin stick-like metal cross, incised with spiraling rope-like detail.On View
