Necklace 38 different colorful beads, 25" long, jewelry making

I don't know the history behind this necklace other than I bought it at an estate sale in the late 1990's in Manlius NY. It is 25" long and comprised of about 38 different beads. Each is different and unique in its own way. There are 2 frogs (one green, one metal), a cat, a crescent moon, a ladybug, an alligator (I think) and other different shaped beads in multi color designs. Interlocking type clasp fastener (see pic). Ask questions regarding any stone/bead you see and I'll describe better. Review pictures for more detail. A rare and treasured gift for someone or components can be used to make other jewelry. This has never been worn. Has been kept in my jewelry box since 1990's
