- Description
- An elaborate neckband features a long, flowing fringe made of soft white cloth. This delicate white base is elegantly adorned with a narrow band of rich black fabric, which serves as a striking contrast. Interspersed throughout the design are vibrant beads in varying hues, including deep crimson lake red, shimmering white, and radiant turquoise blue. The centrepiece showcases ornate fronds, crafted from an intricate arrangement of these glass beads, cascading beautifully in a harmonious blend of white, turquoise blue, and crimson lake red, adding a touch of opulence to the overall appearance.
