Necklace

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Necklace by Chanel consists of a long, dark-colored chain made of small beads. The beads are predominantly dark brown or black with some gold-colored beads interspersed throughout. Two gold-colored clasps are visible, one on each end of the necklace. One clasp resembles a bird and the other a fox. The necklace is laid out on a flat, off-white surface.
