Fringe Necklace Appraisal

Silver-Toned Statement Fringe Necklace

The item is a silver-toned statement necklace, designed as a collar or choker style. It features a series of individually articulated segments that form the main body of the necklace. Each segment has a semicircular top portion with a textured, possibly granulated or stippled, surface, giving it a subtle sparkle or matte finish. From the bottom of each semicircular component, multiple slender, parallel metal rods extend downwards, creating a Fringe or comb-like appearance. There are approximately 8-10 such rods per segment. The necklace appears to be made of a non-precious metal alloy, given the general appearance and lack of specific hallmarks, possibly a base metal with a silver-tone plating.The construction suggests a flexible design, allowing the necklace to conform to the wearer's neck. The links connecting the segments are not clearly visible, but the articulation implies a hinged or linked construction between them. The overall length of the decorative portion covers most of the front and sides of the neck. The necklace is secured by a standard chain extender and lobster clasp closure, typical of costume jewelry. There are no immediately visible signs of heavy wear, damage, or repairs; the silver tone appears consistent throughout. The style is contemporary yet evokes a classic elegant or art deco influence due to its geometric repetition and metallic elements. It does not appear to have any significant patina or extensive scratching. No maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the provided images, which is common for fashion jewelry. The quality appears to be good for a mass-produced or artisan-made costume piece, with uniform elements and good plating coverage.
