Teal Pearls Appraisal

Double-Strand Teal Freshwater Pearl Necklace

This item is a double-strand necklace composed of numerous small, irregular-shaped freshwater pearls, distinguished by their unconventional, non-spherical 'rice pearl' or 'potato pearl' form. The pearls exhibit a distinct teal or aqua hue, suggesting either natural color variations within freshwater pearls or possibly a dye treatment to achieve the vibrant coloration. Each pearl appears to be individually strung, forming two contiguous strands that are draped together. The approximate size of the pearls seems to be in the range of 3-5mm, given their petite appearance relative to the table surface. While a clasp is not visible in the provided image, it is presumed to be present to secure the necklace. The overall construction suggests a casually elegant piece, possibly hand-strung given the slight variations in pearl spacing and shape. The surface of the pearls appears relatively smooth with a soft, uniform luster, indicative of good nacre quality for freshwater pearls. No obvious damage, such as chips, cracks, or significant abrasions, is observable from the image; however, closer inspection would be required to confirm the absence of minor wear. The necklace appears to be in good, wearable condition. Without visible maker's marks or clasp details, specific manufacturing origin or precise age is difficult to ascertain, but the style is contemporary, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century. The double-strand design offers versatility in wear, allowing it to be styled as a layered piece or potentially twisted for a denser look.
