Triple Strand Cultured Pearl Floating Necklace

This jewelry piece is a triple-strand 'floating' or 'illusion' style necklace featuring numerous cultured pearls, likely freshwater in origin. The pearls are spaced out along thin, transparent or metallic silver-toned filaments, creating the visual effect that they are suspended around the neck. The pearls exhibit a range of natural shades including creamy white, pale peach, and soft iridescent lavender-pink. Each pearl appears to be semi-baroque or button-shaped rather than perfectly spherical, indicative of a natural culturing process. They are secured in place by small metallic crimps or beads that prevent them from sliding along the three distinct tiers of varying lengths. The necklace is finished with a metal lobster claw or spring ring clasp assembly in a silver-tone finish. Physically, the construction relies on the tension of the fine cordage, which shows some slight twisting but remains structurally intact. There are no immediate signs of significant peeling or nacre loss on the pearls, though there is a soft, organic patina consistent with contemporary fashion jewelry. This style was particularly popular in the late 20th to early 21st centuries. The craftsmanship is clean with consistent spacing, suggesting a well-made commercial or artisan accessory.
