Vintage Gold-Tone Filigree Bead Collar Necklace

This item is a collar-length necklace featuring a rich, bright yellow gold-tone finish. The piece is constructed from multiple rows of small, spherical beads that display a textured, filigree-like surface or a 'stardust' finish, providing a shimmering effect. The beads are arranged in an interlocking, flexible lattice pattern that tapers slightly towards the clasp. Each bead is intricately detailed with a high-relief granulated texture, indicative of mid-century costume jewelry craftsmanship. The necklace is secured with a rectangular fold-over clasp that matches the metal tone of the body. In terms of condition, the gold-plating appears well-preserved with high lustre, though there is minor visible wear on the contact points of the clasp mechanism. No missing beads or significant structural kinks are observed. Based on the style and construction, this piece likely dates from the 1960s to 1980s, influenced by Etruscan revival or Byzantine aesthetics. The quality suggests it is a high-end designer costume piece, potentially by makers such as Trifari, Monet, or Napier, although no signature is immediately visible in the photograph.
