Personalized 'MOM' Beaded Necklace

This item is a handmade beaded necklace, approximately 18-24 inches in length when laid flat, though exact measurements are difficult without scale. It features a thin, possibly waxed cotton or synthetic cord that appears to be light brown or beige in color. The beads are primarily clustered at the bottom of the necklace, forming a decorative section. The bead assortment includes spherical metallic gold-colored beads, smaller black spherical beads, and white cube-shaped alphabet beads that spell out the word "MOM". The arrangement of these beads appears to be alternating, with the 'MOM' spelling serving as a central focal point. Additionally, there is a single, larger, light pink or peach-colored spherical bead located higher up on one side of the cord, asymmetrical to the main beaded section. The top of the necklace features a simple, dark-colored clasp, likely a barrel clasp or a similar screw-closure mechanism, suggesting it can be opened and closed for wearing. The craftsmanship appears to be folk art or hobbyist level, with visible knots or joins where the clasp attaches to the cord. There are no obvious signs of significant wear or damage, though the cord shows some slight crinkling, indicative of having been stored or used. The gold-colored beads appear to be costume quality, possibly plastic or base metal with a metallic coating, and the black and white beads are likely plastic. This style of necklace is commonly associated with personalized gifts or craft projects, making its estimated age relatively recent, perhaps within the last 20 years. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible. The overall condition appears good, with no major breaks or missing components.
