Silver-Tone Faux Diamond Festoon Necklace

This item is a faux diamond festoon necklace featuring a series of circular, pave-set clear rhinestone or cubic zirconia elements, centered with larger, round cut faux diamonds. The necklace is constructed from a silver-tone, non-magnetic metal, consistent with materials like rhodium-plated base metal, sterling silver, or white gold, though the 'NRTH' marking (possibly indicating 'North' or a manufacturer code) and non-magnetic property lean towards a higher quality costume jewelry or sterling silver piece rather than base metal, which is often magnetic. The design comprises five distinct circular motifs, with the central and largest measuring approximately 1.5 cm in diameter, and the surrounding four being slightly smaller, arranged in a graduated festoon style. Each circular element showcases a central, prominent clear stone surrounded by a halo of smaller, pave-set stones, giving the appearance of scintillation. The connecting links are simple jump rings, with the entire pendant section suspended from a delicate, matching silver-tone chain. The chain appears to be a fine curb or cable link, typical for lightweight necklaces. The overall condition appears good with no obvious missing stones, significant tarnishing, or visible damage to the chain. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced item, possibly from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed to emulate fine jewelry. The 'NRTH' marking is a key distinguishing feature that may help identify the manufacturer.
