Black Faceted Bead and Gold Tone Bead Statement Necklace

This is a statement necklace featuring a structured arrangement of black faceted beads and smaller spherical gold-tone beads, suspended from a gold-tone box chain. The necklace is designed with a cascading or bib-like formation of the beads, where larger black faceted beads, roughly trapezoidal or irregular in shape, are interspersed with smaller, round gold-tone beads. These beads are attached to a central strand or base creating a 'fringe' effect. The gold-tone chain itself appears to be a box chain, known for its square or rectangular interlocked links, which provides a sleek and somewhat modern aesthetic. The clasp at the back is a standard lobster claw clasp, also in a gold-tone finish, suggesting the metal components are likely plated base metal. The overall condition appears good with no obvious signs of significant damage such as broken beads, tarnishing beyond minor wear, or kinks in the chain from the visible perspective. The black beads might be glass, acrylic, or a similar synthetic material, chosen for their reflective qualities and deep color. The gold-tone beads are uniform in size and spherical. This style of necklace, characterized by its bold design and prominent display, suggests it could date from the late 20th century to early 21st century, fitting into contemporary fashion jewelry trends. The craftsmanship appears to be commercial grade, indicative of mass-produced fashion jewelry, with standard findings and beadwork.
