Knotted Pink Cultured Pearl Necklace with Lobster Clasp

This piece is a classic princess-length single-strand necklace featuring approximately 43 graduated or near-uniform pink pearls. The pearls exhibit a soft peach-to-pink hue with a pearlescent luster and subtle iridescent overtones. Each pearl appears to be individually hand-knotted on a matching lavender or pink silk thread, a high-quality construction technique that prevents the pearls from rubbing together and ensures the strand remains secure if broken. The pearls appear to be freshwater cultured pearls, evidenced by their slightly off-round to near-spherical shapes and natural surface characteristics. The necklace is secured with a silver-toned lobster claw clasp, which includes a small decorative metal tag or hallmark near the closure. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible fraying of the cord or significant chipping of the nacre, though some natural surface pits are characteristic of organic gemstones. Based on the clasp style and contemporary color palette, this item likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the consistent tension of the knots and the well-matched color saturation across the entire strand.
