Multi-Strand Baroque Pearl Necklace with Gold-Tone Accents

This item is a multi-strand necklace crafted primarily from small, irregular baroque pearls. The pearls vary in shape and size, generally elongated or 'rice' shaped, exhibiting a creamy white to slightly off-white coloration with a natural luster. The necklace features at least three discernible strands, which appear to intertwine or connect at various points. Interspersed along the pearl strands are small, rounded gold-tone beads, which serve as spacers and decorative accents, adding a touch of warmth and contrast to the creamy pearls. The necklace is secured by a gold-tone filigree clasp, which is visible at one end. The clasp has an oval shape with an ornate, possibly floral or scrolled, engraved design, suggesting a vintage or traditional aesthetic. The overall construction appears to be strung on a fine thread or wire. There are no immediately apparent signs of significant damage such as broken strands or missing pearls, though some slight discoloration or wear might be present on the gold-tone components due to age. The condition appears to be good for its presumed age, with a gentle patina expected from natural materials. Given the style of the clasp and the irregular nature of the pearls, it likely dates from the mid to late 20th century. The craftsmanship, while not displaying uniform perfection due to the natural pearls, shows careful stringing and the inclusion of decorative elements, indicating a focus on aesthetic appeal.
