Graduated Purple Beaded Statement Necklace

This is a statement necklace featuring a graduated design of vibrant purple beads. The beads appear to be made of a lightweight material, possibly plastic or acrylic, given their smooth, glossy surface and lack of visible heft. The color is a solid, rich royal purple with a high-shine finish, reflecting light consistently across their surfaces. The necklace progresses from smaller beads at the ends near the clasp, increasing in size towards the center, where the largest beads are positioned. There are approximately 20-25 beads in total. Each bead appears to be individually strung, although the stringing material is not clearly visible. The necklace is secured by a gold-toned metal chain and a lobster clasp, which includes an extender chain for adjustable length, terminating in a small purple bead. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps evident in the provided image. The condition appears to be good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant scratches on the beads, retaining their bright luster. The metal components show no visible tarnish. This piece likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century, consistent with the trend of bold, colorful costume jewelry. Its craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced fashion jewelry, focusing on aesthetic impact rather than precious materials.
