This silver necklace features a series of interconnected, angular open square links that create a geometric and sculptural design. At its center hangs a bold, rectangular smoky quartz set in a sturdy silver frame, showcasing its deep, translucent brown hue. The necklace is secured with a classic spring-ring clasp, ensuring a secure and functional closure.
