Necklace Valuation Appraisal

Beaded Necklace

The item is a necklace composed of numerous beads strung together. The beads appear to be of two distinct types, alternating along the length of the strand. The larger, more prominent beads are elongated and have a dusty rose or maroon color with a mottled or textured surface. These beads are strung end to end, forming a continuous sequence. Smaller, round beads, appearing to be dark brown or black and potentially metallic or glass, are interspersed between the larger beads, acting as spacers. The necklace is secured by a simple, gold-toned metal hook clasp. The overall construction appears to be a single strand of beads without any pendant. The beads seem to be individually strung on a thread or wire, visible in some areas. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures. The style suggests an older, possibly vintage piece, given the simplicity of the design and clasp. The condition appears to be fair to good for its potential age, with some potential patination or discoloration on the metal clasp. The beads themselves seem relatively intact, although close inspection would be needed to determine if any are chipped or cracked. The length of the necklace is not discernible from the image, but it appears to be a choker or short to medium length style.
