- Description
- A stunning necklace comprised of five elegant tubes in alternating colours of deep navy and crisp white, vibrant green and soft white, as well as lively orange alongside pure white. The piece is adorned with exquisite pearls in shades of ocean blue and soft pink, which beautifully contrast against cheerful yellow beads and delicate white ones. This eye-catching jewellery is a popular choice among teenagers, especially when attending the lively umtshotsho dance, where it adds a touch of flair and individuality to their vibrant attire.
