Single Strand Pearl Necklace with Sterling Silver Clasp

This is a single-strand pearl necklace, approximately 17 inches in length, as indicated by the user's context. The pearls are uniformly round to near-round in shape, exhibiting a soft, creamy white to light pinkish-peach overtone, characteristic of freshwater or cultured saltwater pearls. Their surface appears to have a medium to high luster, with some visible reflections, suggesting reasonable nacre quality. Individual pearls seem to be fairly consistent in size, estimated to be in the range of 6-7mm based on visual assessment. The necklace is strung with knotting between each pearl, a common practice to prevent loss of all pearls if the strand breaks and to protect the pearls from rubbing against each other. The clasp is a simple yet functional sterling silver fish-hook style, clearly visible on one end. It features a decorative etched pattern on its surface and an open jump ring on the other end for secure closure. The silver appears bright, indicating it's possibly rhodium-plated or relatively new/well-maintained. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, chips, or damage to the pearls. The overall condition appears good, with the consistent sizing and luster suggesting a well-matched strand. Without closer inspection of individual pearls, it's difficult to determine the exact type (freshwater, Akoya, etc.) or presence of blemishes, but the uniformity suggests a decent quality selection. The simple design points to a classic and timeless style, likely from the mid-20th century onwards, as cultured pearls became more widely available.
