What search terms to find this necklace?

I'm looking for a fairly specific replacement necklace for my MIL as a backup for one she has nearly worn out after years of everyday wear.
However, I'm having problems working out the right search terms to describe it, could you help?

The original necklace is made of coral coloured leather but it is not shoelacey thong or a dog-collar type strap, it is proper sheet leather (for handbags/gloves) that has been rolled and seamed to make a solid tube about 6-8mm in diameter. It fastens at the back with metal ends and sits on the collarbones - not a choker, but you can mostly see it inside a round necked jumper.
There is a single smooth silver coloured metal bead of 8-10mm diameter in the centre front.

I appreciate I won't find the exact one, but I'm thinking that there must be other stitched leather necklaces around, and possibly one with a coral colour or accent? I'd accept a round section leather braid too but I still can't narrow down my searches enough within those to find anything close.

Beads are separate

Do an image search on google

I've been doing image searches but variations on 'leather necklace' only seems to bring up thousands of ones with thonging that is much too thin, or collars, hence wondering what other terms I could try: I was mostly hoping someone might know a technical term for sewn leather necklaces, I guess.

Stitched leather cord ? Try Etsy - quite a few shops selling the kind of cord you describe though not many making necklaces of it, but you could ask a jewellery maker on there if they can make one.

these guys on notonthehighstreet look like they could make something similar.

Is it not like the first link? Simple leather necklace for beads at collar bone length?

This is a long shot but could you take a picture of the necklace and do a reverse image search?

OP is it this kind of leather or something else? If you have a photo that would help: bestbeads.com/round-leather-cord
