Single Strand Cultured Freshwater Pearl Necklace

This is a single-strand necklace composed of approximately 45-50 cultured freshwater pearls. The pearls exhibit a 'potato' or semi-baroque shape, displaying natural irregularities and asymmetrical silhouettes rather than perfect spheres. The color palette is variegated, featuring a mix of creamy white, soft champagne, and subtle peachy-pink overtones with an iridescent luster. Each pearl appears to be approximately 7mm to 9mm in size. The strand is individually knotted on what appears to be silk or nylon thread, a high-quality finishing technique that prevents the pearls from rubbing against one another and ensures the pearls remain secure if the strand breaks. The necklace is secured with a silver-toned metal lobster claw clasp, which appears functional but shows some minor signs of oxidation. The overall condition is good, with some surface pitting and concentric ring growth marks visible on individual pearls, which are characteristic of natural and freshwater cultured varieties. Estimates suggest a contemporary manufacturing period within the last 20-30 years based on the clasp style and pearl uniformity.
