DescriptionA collar necklace with an interlocking gold clasp. The necklace is made from a single strand of fine gold wire crocheted into tube-like forms with round amber or clear beads encased at either end of each tube. The tubes are crocheted in graduated lengths, with the shortest lengths near the clasps and the longest at the focal point, to produce the effect of a vertically oriented arrangement.
