Two-Strand Faux Pearl and Crystal Bead Necklace

This is a two-strand faux pearl and crystal bead necklace, designed to sit gracefully on the neckline. The necklace features round, white, lustrous faux pearls of varying sizes, interspersed with faceted clear glass or crystal beads that catch and reflect light, adding sparkle. The largest pearls appear towards the center and bottom strand, gradually decreasing in size towards the ends and the top strand. Connecting these beads are small, elongated gold-toned metal links, many of which have a subtle diamond or lozenge shape with textured details, suggesting perhaps a filigree or chased design. The metal shows some signs of wear and oxidation, evident by the darker patina in certain areas. The construction appears to be strung on wire or cord, with the beads linked by the metal connectors. At one end, there is a cluster of smaller faux pearls, forming a decorative element, while the other end features a simple hook clasp, characteristic of vintage costume jewelry. The overall condition suggests moderate wear consistent with its age, possibly from the mid-20th century, given the style of the faux pearls and the metal links. There are no readily visible maker's marks or signatures, which is common for unsigned costume pieces. The craftsmanship is decent, with uniform bead spacing and secure linking, indicating a mass-produced but well-assembled piece.
