Vintage Marvella Twisted Faux Pearl Torsade Necklace

This is a vintage multi-strand twisted torsade necklace featuring small, creamy-white simulated or faux pearls. Based on the visible gold-tone metal hang tag, the piece is manufactured by Marvella, a prominent American costume jewelry brand known for high-quality faux pearls throughout the mid-20th century. The necklace consists of multiple strands of uniform pearls intricately twisted together to create a rope-like texture. It features a decorative, openwork filigree gold-tone fishhook clasp (often referred to as a box clasp with a safety catch), which is a common indicator of vintage costume jewelry quality from the 1950s to 1980s. The pearls exhibit a consistent luster with a warm, iridescent sheen typical of high-grade glass-based or plastic-based simulated pearls of that era. There is a small metal hang tag stamped 'marvella' in lowercase serif font. The condition appears fair to good with minor surface wear on the metal clasp's gold plating and some visible fraying or loose threading near the junction of the strands and the clasp assembly. A white circular price or inventory tag with the handwritten number '5' is attached to one end, suggesting it is currently in a secondary market or thrift setting. The overall construction implies a classic, mid-century aesthetic designed for elegance and durability.
