Faux Pearl Single Strand Necklace with Filigree Clasp

This item is a single strand necklace composed of evenly sized, cream-colored spherical beads, likely faux pearls, arranged in a continuous loop. The beads exhibit a consistent hue, possibly indicating they are artificial or cultured pearls, given their uniform appearance and lack of significant natural imperfections often found in natural pearls. Each bead appears to be individually knotted on the strand, a common technique for pearl or bead stringing that prevents loss of all beads if the strand breaks. The necklace features a visible clasp, which appears to be a filigree or decorative box clasp, typical of vintage jewelry. The metal of the clasp is a light, possibly silver-toned or white gold-toned material, and it has a textured, ornate surface. The overall length of the necklace suggests it's designed to be worn around the neck, possibly as a matinee or opera length given the visible extent in the image. There are no overt signs of damage such as chips or significant scratches on individual beads, but due to lighting and image resolution, minor surface wear or dulling of the 'nacre' cannot be definitively ruled out. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for such beaded necklaces, with careful stringing visible. The style of the clasp and the classic aesthetic of bead necklaces suggest a potential age from the mid-20th century onwards, possibly 1950s-1980s, offering a timeless quality.
