Vintage Mother of Pearl Inlay Necklace

This necklace features a distinctive design with a combination of materials and shapes. Material and Color: It is made of silver-toned metal for the chain and settings, contrasted with black and off-white/cream colours, the inlay is mother-of-pearl or shell, and the black is enamelling Design Elements: The necklace has a central pendant and symmetrical elements leading up the chain. The central pendant is an oval shape with a black outer ring and an off-white/cream inlay in the center. Flanking the central pendant are two curved, almost crescent-shaped elements Further up the chain, on either side, are diamond-oval bezel-set pieces. All 5 of the mother of pearl pieces feature carved or etched details resembling a sand dollar or similar natural form. Structure: The necklace is a rigid-style collar or torque necklace with a flexible chain section at the back, connected by links to the decorative front elements. The silver material is non-magnetic, but unmarked. I suspect it to be Alpaca silver as this was used extensively in such inlay work The reverse is enamelled with a speck of wear Overall this piece is in excellent condition Inv N3
