Description
A stylish bohemian mixed-media necklace featuring an asymmetrical design. The piece includes a variety of beads: black matte square spacers, cream and black patterned spheres, and a large copper-toned focal bead with a textured geometric pattern. It is held together by a lightweight gold-tone curb chain with a standard lobster claw clasp closure. Measuring approximately 18-20 inches in length, this piece is perfect for layering or as a standalone statement for casual outfits.
Key Features
Maximalist/Bohemian aesthetic; trendy mix of textures; lightweight for comfortable all-day wear; versatile earthy color palette (black, gold, cream, copper).
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-market construction; lack of maker's marks or metal stamps (e.g., no .925 or 14k marking); mid-range confidence that this is a contemporary fast-fashion or craft-store item.
Flaws to Note
Wear on the metal finish of the lobster clasp; light surface scratches on the larger focal beads; the metal is likely the base alloy and may cause sensitivity for some wearers.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or local Facebook Marketplace 'Jewelry Bundles'. Best sold as part of a 'Boho Style' bundle to increase interest.
Selling Tips
Photograph against a solid light background or on a jewelry bust to show scale. Use keywords like 'Boho,' 'Eclectic,' 'Mixed Media,' and 'Statement Necklace.' Clean the metal chain with a soft dry cloth before listing to maximize shine.
