Freshwater Cultured Pearl Necklace with Floral Relief Clasp

This item is a single-strand necklace composed of approximately 25 to 30 Baroque-style freshwater cultured pearls. Each pearl exhibits a creamy white body color with a soft, iridescent luster and characteristic irregular, ovoid shapes ranging from roughly 8mm to 10mm in size. The surface of the pearls shows natural growth rings and minor pitted texture typical of freshwater cultivation. The necklace is individually knotted on a white silk or synthetic thread to prevent abrasions and ensure security. A highlight of the piece is the decorative gold-toned metal box clasp, which features a detailed relief of a rose or camellia flower. The clasp appears to have a slight patina or tarnishing consistent with age, suggesting a mid-to-late 20th-century vintage (circa 1970s-1990s). The overall construction indicates a piece of fine costume or bridge jewelry; the metal does not show obvious hallmark stamps in this view, though its design suggests it may be gold-plated silver or a high-quality base metal alloys. The condition is good, with some stretching of the cord near the clasp and visible wear to the finish of the metal components. The pearls themselves show good luster with no significant peeling of the nacre, indicating careful previous ownership.
