Silver Figaro Chain Appraisal

925 Silver Figaro Chain Necklace

This is a 20-inch 925 silver Figaro chain. The chain features alternating patterns of flattened oval links and smaller, rounder links, characteristic of the Figaro style. The silver material appears to have a polished finish, reflecting light, but also shows areas of minor oxidation or tarnish, suggesting it is genuine sterling silver and has been worn or exposed to air over time. The construction details indicate a well-made piece, with each link appearing securely attached. At one end of the chain, there is a lobster clasp closure, a common and secure type of fastening mechanism for necklaces and bracelets. The clasp itself also appears to be made of sterling silver, and its operation seems functional. There are no visible major damages such as broken links or significant kinks, though the overall appearance suggests some gentle wear consistent with its age and use. No specific maker's marks or stamps are clearly discernible from the provided images, other than the '925' notation which indicates sterling silver quality. The style is classic and timeless, easily fitting into contemporary or vintage aesthetics. The integrity of the links and the clasp further indicate a good quality piece of jewelry.
