Two-Tone Twisted Multi-Strand Pearl Necklace

This item is a multi-strand twisted pearl necklace, featuring an alternating pattern of light grey/silver pearls and white/cream pearls. The necklace appears to be approximately choker to princess length, designed to sit relatively close to the neck. Each strand consists of numerous small, uniformly sized round pearls, likely imitation or freshwater pearls given their consistent shape and surface. The strands are tightly twisted together, creating a rope-like effect that gives the necklace a substantial and intricate appearance. The colors of the pearls create a subtle contrast, adding visual interest to the piece. The clasp, visible at one end, is a simple hook-and-eye or spring ring type, indicating a functional rather than decorative closure. There are no obvious maker's marks or signatures discernible from the image. The overall condition appears good with no significant visible damage such as broken strands or missing pearls, though a slight patina may be present on the metal clasp reflecting age or light wear. The craftsmanship seems consistent, with the pearls evenly strung and twisted, suggesting a well-made costume or fashion jewelry piece. It likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, a period when such pearl styles were popular.
