Hammered Ring Necklace Appraisal

Double-Strand Antiqued Gold-Tone Hammered Ring and Beaded Necklace

This item is a double-strand fashion necklace featuring an antiqued gold-finish over base metal. The design is characterized by a repetitive alternating pattern of flat, hammered-texture open circles and smooth spheroidal beads. Interspersed throughout the strands are faceted smoke-grey glass or resin beads, which provide a subtle color contrast and reflective quality. The necklace is constructed with individual links and jump rings, allowing for a flexible drape. It features an adjustable-length extender chain with a lobster-claw clasp mechanism, finished with a small metallic bead at the terminal end. The overall aesthetic is consistent with contemporary costume jewelry from the late 20th to early 21st century, often categorized as 'boho-chic' or 'industrial glam'. The metal shows a dark patina in the recessed areas of the hammered rings, which appears to be an intentional decorative antiquing rather than age-related oxidation. Condition appears good with no missing components visible, though there is minor surface wear on the metallic coating of the beads. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the clasp or extender, suggesting it is a mass-produced boutique or high-street fashion piece.
