The necklace is curled into an elongated spiral shape, with one end featuring a clasp. The clasp is long and rectangular with horizontal lines etched into it. The necklace is placed on a beige surface, with a small gold tag near the top. The surface background appears slightly textured. The necklace has a shiny appearance with some darker areas where shadows fall.
