Triple Strand Simulated Pearl Necklace with Rhinestone Focal and Teardrop Pendant

This is a classic costume jewelry necklace featuring three parallel strands of uniformly sized, cream-colored simulated pearls. The strands are gathered into a decorative circular focal point made of silver-toned metal, which is pavé-set with small round rhinestones surrounding a larger central faux pearl. Hanging from this central element is a large, elongated teardrop-shaped faux pearl pendant, accented with a decorative silver-toned cap. The pearls exhibit a high-luster finish typical of glass or acrylic cores with a synthetic coating. The construction appears to be machine-strung, possibly on nylon cord or wire, as individual knots between beads are not visible in the provided image. The overall style is reminiscent of mid-20th-century bridal or evening wear, likely dating from the 1960s to the 1980s. The metal components show some signs of light oxidation or patina, and the rhinestones appear to be intact, though one or two may have slightly yellowed with age. No maker's marks are visible on the front of the piece, suggesting it may be a mass-produced boutique or department store item. The piece shows general signs of light wear but no significant damage or major peeling of the pearl nacre.
