Multi-Strand Beaded Necklace with Amber and Clear Beads

This item is a multi-strand beaded necklace, likely costume jewelry based on the visible materials and construction. It features at least three visible strands, possibly more, creating a layered effect. The necklace is primarily composed of two types of beads: faceted clear glass or acrylic beads, and cylindrical or barrel-shaped beads in a translucent amber or light brown color. The clear beads vary slightly in size and faceting, appearing to be round or oval with multiple cut surfaces designed to catch light. The amber-colored beads are consistently cylindrical with a smooth surface and appear to be made of glass or a similar synthetic material. These amber beads are often flanked by smaller, clear, possibly rhinestone or glass spacers, creating a more ornate look. The beads are strung on what appears to be a thin, dark-colored wire or thread, which is then connected to a metal chain, possibly a base metal like copper or brass with a darkened finish, giving it an antique or aged appearance. The clasp, visible in one of the close-up images, is a lobster claw style, also in a darkened metal finish, indicating mass production rather than high-end craftsmanship. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures. The overall condition appears to be good with no obvious major damage, though some light wear or patina might be present on the metal components consistent with age or use. A loose thread or fiber is visible near one of the central clear beads, suggesting a potential minor manufacturing flaw or an indicator of material type. The style of the necklace suggests it could be from the late 20th century to early 21st century, fitting into contemporary fashion trends for layered, beaded accessories.
