There is a small spool around the opening to the links of the end pearls on either side of the necklace. One part of the clasp is connected to the link and the other to a hook fashioned in the shaped of a swan's head. both parts of the clasp are symmetrical and decorated; they consist of three droplets of black glass paste within a stylized and engraved rim, as well as six granules. There is a hood ornamented with filigree and granulation at the edges on both parts of the clasp.
