Bottom trimmed with looped and twisted fringe of white beads. (b) blue metallic beads, as (a) but only five strands between, the inner three being blue and the outer ones silver. Pink and yellow metallic bead flowers in square are more geometric. Strands joined together .5 cm from square with a small bar of silver and blue beads. Bottom square contains four flowers with a yellow X-shape between them. Twisted and looped fringe straight across bottom of blue and silver beads. (c) silver metallic beads, thicker, triple strands between flat squares have chain link appearance in their manner of beading. Square areas have black and silver checked pattern. Two squares stitched together at bottom, rather than woven together. Ends of necklace extend beyond this, as a continuation of the strap, each ending in a checkered square with long, loose, silver beaded fringes at the end.
