Description
Blue Beaded Necklace with Red and White Decoration. Beaded necklace in a sky blue color. The bottom of the necklace has 9 beaded strands of blue. From the bottom. there is a square where the loop of the necklace connects. The square is beaded in white, with a red stripe going across the bottom. The red stripe has three white rectangles evenly spaced along its width. Above the red strip, there is a blue shape which appears like two peaks of mountains, triangles pushed together so each only has two points and the thirds overlap in the center. Above this, the necklace splits into two strands forming the loop. Each strand consists of 5 single strands of blue beads, connected by rectangular beadwork approximately 10 beads across. These have two blue triangles pointing inward from where the blue single strands connect, and to red squares, each with two white rectangles inside. Through the whole loop, there are five rectangles of beadwork where the smaller strands connect together.
