Pink Cultured Freshwater Pearl Strand Necklace

This item is a single strand necklace comprised of approximately 50 to 52 spherical pearls. The pearls exhibit a distinct soft pink to mauve pastel body color with a high luster and visible orient. Each pearl appears to be approximately 7mm to 8mm in diameter, though they show slight natural variations in shape, suggesting they are cultured freshwater pearls rather than Akoya. The strand is professionally hand-knotted on matching pink silk thread, a quality construction technique that prevents the pearls from rubbing against one another and ensures security should the strand break. The necklace is finished with a traditional 14k yellow gold 'fishhook' or filigree safety clasp, which is a classic maritime-influenced jewelry fastener. The condition appears excellent with no visible peeling of the nacre or significant surface pitting. The pearls show a smooth surface texture with minimal biological inclusions. Based on the style and the presentation box, the piece likely dates from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. The uniformity in color and size across the strand indicates high-grade selection and quality craftsmanship typical of fine jewelry retail.
