Pearl Strand Necklace with Ornate Clasp

This item is a classic strand of pearls, likely a necklace, characterized by numerous spherical beads of consistent size. The pearls appear to be a creamy white or light ivory color with a soft, uniform luster, suggesting either cultured or high-quality imitation pearls. Each pearl is individually strung, and the strand exhibits a smooth, continuous flow. The overall length appears to be sufficient for a choker or princess-length necklace, possibly around 16 to 18 inches based on its presentation. The clasp, visible at one end, is a decorative, yellow-toned metal (possibly gold or gold-plated) with an ornate, possibly filigree or engraved design, and includes a small, single clear stone accent, likely a diamond or cubic zirconia, which adds a touch of elegance. There are no obvious signs of significant damage such as chips or cracks on the pearls, and they maintain their sheen. The stringing appears intact, though the precise material of the string (silk, nylon) is not discernible. The clasp does not show significant tarnish or wear, indicating good care or relatively recent craftsmanship. Based on the style of the clasp and the consistent size and luster of the pearls, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with evenly matched pearls and a secure, attractive clasp.
