Is the presence of black embroidery, beads, or rhinestones on the sleeves of a black abaya considered an adornment that entices men, even if the legal conditions for women's dress are met?

It is not permissible for a woman to wear an abaya embroidered with beads or other embellishments if it is an apparent adornment and embroidery. This is because one of the characteristics of the lawful dress for a Muslim woman is that it should not be an adornment in itself.
