Malachite necklace with gold-plated silver beads

This necklace, made of polished malachite beads, shines with a striking, rich green hue; the characteristic banding of lighter and darker shades of green makes each bead unique. Four gold-plated silver beads with a finely grained granulation pattern add warm accents to the deep green.

Malachite is a copper mineral that has been prized as a gemstone since ancient times; its concentric bands and wavy patterns are considered its distinctive features.

The chain fastens with a spring ring clasp made of gold-plated silver.
