Two-Strand Graduated Faux Pearl Necklace

This item is a two-strand necklace featuring a graduated design of faux pearls. The beads transition from smaller sizes near the clasp to larger sizes at the center front of the necklace. The faux pearls are uniformly white or off-white in color, exhibiting a subtle iridescent luster that mimics natural pearls. The surface of these beads appears smooth and polished, typical of glass or plastic pearl imitations. The necklace is constructed with two individual strands of beads, which are joined at a central circular clasp at the back. The clasp itself appears to be a button or disk-shaped piece, possibly made of a similar pearlescent material or a matching white plastic/resin, with a metal finding mechanism visible. The metal components, likely part of the clasp's hinge or catch, show a darkened patina, suggesting they might be an aged base metal or tarnished silver-tone material. The stringing method is not clearly visible but appears to be either standard cord or wire. There are no overt signs of damage such as chips, cracks, or significant scuffing on the beads, although the overall condition suggests some wear consistent with age and use. The graduated size of the pearls adds an element of classic elegance to the piece. This style of necklace frequently dates to the mid-20th century, particularly the 1950s and 1960s, reflecting a popular aesthetic of that era. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced costume jewelry of the period.
