Crafted Necklace Appraisal

Multi-Colored Beaded Necklace

This item is a short bead necklace, possibly a choker given its apparent length in the image. It is composed of uniformly sized, round beads, suggesting they might be imitation pearls or cultured pearls due to their consistent shape and luster. The beads are arranged in an alternating color pattern of white/cream, light pink, and peach/light orange. There are approximately 35-40 beads visible, and their size appears to be around 6-8mm in diameter, though precise measurement is not possible from the image. Each bead exhibits a smooth, reflective surface characteristic of pearls or high-quality imitation pearls. The construction is a single strand, and the beads are secured with a metallic clasp, which appears to be silver-toned metal, possibly a lobster clasp or similar swivel closure, adorned with a decorative, possibly filigree, openwork design. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of damage, chips, or significant wear on the beads or clasp. The stringing material is not visible, but it appears to be secure. The style suggests a contemporary design, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, offering a versatile aesthetic that could complement both casual and semi-formal attire.
