Swarovski Crystal Beaded Necklace with 14k Gold Clasp

This necklace features a dual-toned strand of faceted Swarovski crystal beads, meticulously strung to create a high-contrast aesthetic. The upper portion of the strand consists of jet black faceted rondelle or bicone beads, which transition into clear or Aurora Borealis (AB) finished crystals on the lower half. Suspendent from the center is a single, large precision-cut Swarovski crystal pendant in a faceted teardrop or geometric 'Galactic' shape, exhibiting a brilliant prismatic light reflection characteristic of high-lead glass. According to provided specifications, the necklace is secured by a 14kt yellow gold clasp, likely a spring ring or lobster claw style, indicating a higher tier of 'bridge jewelry' construction where premium crystals are paired with precious metals. The beads appear to be approximately 2-3mm in size, suggesting delicate craftsmanship. The item is in excellent visible condition, showing sharp facet edges and no obvious clouding or chips to the crystals. The strand length appears to be approximately 16 to 18 inches, typical of a princess-length necklace. It bears a white inventory tag numbered '2137', suggesting it is part of a curated collection or retail inventory. The style is contemporary and minimalist, emphasizing the play of light unique to Swarovski's proprietary cutting techniques.
