Y Drop Necklace Appraisal

Larimar Stone and Silver-Toned Chain Y-Drop Necklace

This item is a necklace featuring a series of light blue, possibly Larimar, stone segments connected by a silver-toned metal chain. The stones are irregular in shape, appearing to be mostly tumbled or free-form nuggets, with some exhibiting a more triangular or teardrop-like cut. Each stone segment is individually wrapped or set with wire, securing it to the next link of the chain. The necklace has a Y-drop design, with the main chain splitting to form a 'Y' shape, culminating in a larger, pear-shaped or teardrop-shaped stone at the bottom. This larger stone is also light blue and displays a smooth polish, indicative of a cabochon cut. The stones exhibit a characteristic light blue to greenish-blue hue with subtle white marbling or inclusions, common for Larimar. The metal chain appears to be a delicate, possibly sterling silver or silver-plated, cable link chain. The overall construction suggests a handcrafted or artisan-made piece. No visible hallmarks or maker's marks are discernible from the image. The condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of breakage or significant wear on the stones or chain. The metal might show some light tarnishing consistent with age and use, but this cannot be confirmed without closer inspection. The style suggests a contemporary bohemian or naturalistic aesthetic, likely dating from the late 20th to early 21st century.
