This necklace functions the differently than the other examples in this group. Although its beads are not randomly strung, its segments vary in length, bead size and how the spacers are use. It has less repetitions. In some places, the spacers are not paired with a larger, more dominant bead. They form segments completely of spacers. In other sections, larger beads work alone. Side by side, they line up with similarly sized beads.

An unusual necklace made of 24 carat gold.  The gold is a French product used in jewelry repair and has an unusual structure.  Strands of the material can be separated and small fragments can create knots, feathered effects, and other forms.  The result is delicate but stable.  Length depends on handling.

This necklace is very similar to #2835-it too, is composed of segments of beads alternating with smaller spacer beads. interestingly, = the primary beads and the spacers are both quite small. The beads are all round and unfaceted except for a short segment of somewhat larger freshwater pearl beads.
