The necklace has three strands. The two outer strands are made of round, orange-red beads with a textured gold-colored metal wrapping around them. The center strand has larger gold-colored beads. The strands are connected by small gold-colored metal pieces. A large, circular pendant hangs from the bottom of the necklace. The pendant is gold-colored with a raised design around its edge. In the center of the pendant is a clear stone. The background of the image is a light-colored surface.
