Faceted Black Glass and Pavé Bead Necklace

This instance features a strand of faceted black beads, likely constructed from jet glass or high-polished black spinel, arranged in a uniform sequence. Interspersed within the strand are five accent beads featuring a pavé setting of small, clear stones—likely cubic zirconia or crystals—set into a silver-toned base. The black beads exhibit a geometric faceted cut which creates a strong reflective surface, while the accent beads provide rhythmic points of brilliance. The necklace is finished with a distinct S-hook clasp made of a pale metallic material, possibly sterling silver or silver-plated brass, which transitions from tapered cones into the hook mechanism. The necklace possesses a contemporary aesthetic with a vintage-inspired flare, typical of high-quality fashion jewelry from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with no visible missing stones in the pavé sections, though the metal clasp shows a soft patina indicative of light use. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the consistent tension in the stringing and the symmetrical placement of the accent beads.
