Turquoise Beaded Mesh Bib Necklace Appraisal

Turquoise Beaded Mesh Bib Necklace

This item is a decorative bib-style necklace, predominantly featuring small, teal-colored beads akin to turquoise, intricately integrated into a gold-toned metal mesh or lattice work. The overall shape is a wide, triangular or 'bib' form, tapering towards a single chain attachment point on one side while presumably having a similar attachment or clasp on the other (not fully visible). The mesh itself appears to be constructed from interconnected small, star-like or floral elements creating an openwork pattern. Each of these metal elements seems to have multiple small teal beads attached, creating a dense, textured surface. The beads are small and rounded, consistent in color, providing a vibrant contrast against the metallic gold. The golden metal exhibits a somewhat dulled or antiqued patina, suggesting age or a deliberate finish. There are no readily discernible manufacturer's marks or signatures visible from the provided image. The construction appears to be machine-made given the uniformity of the mesh elements. The condition seems generally good, with no obvious major damage, missing beads, or breakages, although some minor wear consistent with use might be present. The aesthetic suggests a vintage or ethnic-inspired style, possibly from the mid to late 20th century. The quality of craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, indicative of mass production rather than bespoke artistry.
