The center of the necklace is decorated with three Dutch trade beads boasting a snowy white body with a vibrant horizontal band at their midsection; two have a vermillion stripe, while the most central bead has a streak of cobalt. Alternatively, the bracelet presents fourteen stegodon beads and a white trade bead displaying a band of cobalt blue. The perfect combination of ancient history and modern style!
