- A beaded necklace from the Rock Rest Tourist Home. The single strand necklace is strung primarily with blue, white, and pearl colored seed beads. The seed beads are strung in small groupings separated by silvered, mauve colored, glass tube beads. At the front center of the necklace, the strands have been woven together into roughly a pendant shape. At the bottom of the woven pendant are three dangling strands of seed beads capped with rounded, gray glass beads and three larger Millefiori round glass beads. The Millefiori beads are primarily blue with a red floral pattern. The necklace has a gold spring ring clasp at the back center.
