The piece features a dynamic combination of rich red and deep black wooden beads, which offer a lightweight yet substantial feel for comfortable all-day wear. This earthy foundation is elevated by the inclusion of glossy black resin beads and intricate, branch-like red accents that mimic the organic look of Mediterranean coral. A dramatic, multi-strand black cord or horsehair tassel often serves as the focal point, adding a sense of movement and "Roaring 20s" flapper-inspired flair that was highly popularized in the late 20th century. True to the tradition of Italian craftsmanship, the necklace showcases a masterful use of mixed textures—the smooth, warm grain of the wood against the polished sheen of the beads and the fluid softness of the tassel. This accessory embodies the vibrant, eclectic spirit of 90s fashion, where industrial design met natural elements to create unique, wearable art. Whether styled with a simple linen dress for a bohemian-chic look or used to add a pop of color to a sleek office ensemble, this authentic vintage piece is a testament to the enduring elegance of "Made in Italy" costume jewelry.
