Two-Tone Beaded Necklace

This is a beaded necklace featuring an alternating pattern of two distinct bead types. The necklace appears to be approximately 16-18 inches in length based on its presentation. One type of bead is roughly oval or nugget-shaped, possessing an irregular, textured, and undulating surface, resembling a hammered or crinkled metallic finish. These beads are a muted gold or champagne color, exhibiting a slightly reflective sheen. The other type of bead is also irregularly shaped, often described as 'baroque' or 'freeform', with a smooth, somewhat translucent, milky white or very pale ivory appearance. These beads have a natural, organic look, possibly suggesting a simulated pearl or a natural stone like moonstone or chalcedony. The beads are strung together, likely on a cord or wire, with visible spacing between them. The clasp, partially visible at one end, appears to be a basic lobster clasp or a similar hook-and-eye mechanism, likely made of a base metal in a matching gold-tone finish. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures. The overall style suggests a fashion accessory, possibly from the mid to late 20th century, with a focus on organic shapes and contrasting textures. The condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage, heavy wear, or repairs, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm the integrity of the stringing and the condition of each bead's surface.
