Baroque Freshwater Cultured Pearl Strand with Floral Clasp

This item is a single-strand pearl necklace featuring large, baroque-shaped freshwater cultured pearls. The pearls exhibit a creamy white or light ivory body color with a soft, iridescent orient. Each pearl displays the characteristic high irregularity of the baroque style, including surface undulations, slight pits, and non-spherical silhouettes, which range from oval to teardrop shapes. The strand is professionally hand-knotted on matching silk thread, a quality construction detail that provides security and prevents the pearls from rubbing against one another. The necklace is secured with a prominent, decorative yellow gold-toned clasp fashioned in the shape of a textured flower, accented with a smaller seed pearl at its center. This clasp design suggests a mid-to-late 20th-century vintage style. The pearls appear to be in good condition with a healthy luster, though the metal clasp shows slight signs of tarnish or wear to the plating consistent with age. There are no visible chips or significant nacre loss on the pearls themselves. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-quality costume or fine fashion jewelry piece meant to celebrate the organic imperfections of naturally occurring shapes.
