Vintage Multi-Strand Pearl-Like Beaded Necklace

This item is a vintage multi-strand necklace, explicitly described as 'pearl-like,' suggesting the beads are imitation pearls rather than natural or cultured pearls. The necklace comprises four individual strands of small, uniformly sized spherical beads. The beads exhibit a variety of colors, including ivory, silvertone, pink tone, and a darker pink tone, creating a subtle multi-color effect when all strands are intertwined. Each strand of beads is strung on a single white string, visible in areas where the beads are less tightly clustered. The necklace features a fluted, ribbed screw-barrel clasp, which appears to be made of a silver-toned metal, possibly rhodium-plated or sterling silver, with a gold-toned jump ring or small loop connecting to one end of the screw-barrel. The total weight of the necklace is approximately 34 grams, as indicated by the digital scale. While it is described as vintage, a specific age or style period is not discernible from the image alone, but the multi-strand design and screw clasp are characteristic of fashionable jewelry from the mid-20th century, potentially ranging from the 1940s to the 1970s. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps, which is common for some costume jewelry from this era. The beads appear to be in good general condition with a consistent luster across the various colors. There are no obvious visible signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, though a detailed inspection for nacre loss on individual beads or string integrity would be necessary for a full condition report. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced vintage costume jewelry.
