Multi Color Necklace Appraisal

Multi-Color Pearl Necklace by Jewel of the Sea

The item is a string of pearls forming a necklace, currently presented on a red background, possibly a Valentino brand packaging or display surface, indicated by the visible "VALENTINO" text. The necklace features uniformly sized, spherical pearls, strung together in a single strand. The pearls exhibit a range of naturalistic colors, including shades of brownish-black, grey, silver, and a light peachy-pink or champagne hue, suggesting they are likely freshwater or cultured pearls known for their diverse color palettes. Each pearl appears to have a moderate to high luster, reflecting light consistently. The overall construction suggests a classic, continuous strand design, with no visible clasp in the presented view, implying it could be a longer necklace meant to slip over the head or a design with an integrated, less conspicuous clasp. The pearls are strung closely together, indicating a traditional stringing method that may include knots between pearls to prevent loss if the strand breaks. Attached to the necklace is a black and white hang tag, clearly legible with the brand name "Jewel of the Sea" in a decorative, cursive font, indicating the manufacturer or seller. The tag has a plastic hanger loop, suggesting it is new or recently purchased stock. The condition appears to be very good, with no obvious signs of wear, chips, or damage to the pearls or stringing, consistent with an item that is either new or well-preserved. There are no visible maker's marks on the pearls themselves, which is typical. The style is classic and timeless, suitable for various occasions. The uniformity in size and shape of the pearls, along with their varied natural colors, points to a quality piece, though without further details on pearl type (e.g., Akoya, South Sea, Tahitian, freshwater) and size, a more precise quality assessment is difficult.
