Horn necklace with linked navette plaques and oval pendant
Jewelry
A necklace built from a chain of elongated marquise/navette horn links — dark brown to near-black, polished, with some natural tonal variation — joined by white-metal jump rings. At the front, a large oval horn plaque (dark gray-brown with lengthwise striations and a beveled edge) hangs as a pendant, connected to the chain by horn navette links on each shoulder. Three small oval horn drops, slightly graduated and varied in tone, hang from the bottom edge of the oval plaque on jump rings. The necklace is a complete unit with an integral pendant.
