Gold-Tone Hammered Teardrop Charm Necklace

This item is a contemporary fashion necklace featuring a heavy-link chain with a series of five teardrop-shaped charms. The necklace is constructed from a gold-toned metal, likely brass or a plated base metal, exhibiting a warm yellow hue with a slightly matte finish. A key design element is the hammered texture applied to the front surface of each teardrop charm, which creates a multifaceted surface that catches light unevenly, characteristic of artisanal or organic style trends. The charms appear to be tiered or layered slightly in their arrangement. The chain itself is a modified cable link style, interspersed with larger round connector rings. It utilizes a toggle-style clasp for closure, which adds a decorative and functional element to the design. Based on its style and construction, this piece likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, fitting into the 'boho-chic' or 'artisanal' fashion categories. The condition shows very light surface wear and minor tarnishing consistent with age and occasional use, but no visible structural issues or deep scratches are present. No clear maker's marks are visible in the provided image. Overall, the piece demonstrates solid craftsmanship for costume jewelry, with consistent finishing and secure attachment points for the charms and clasp components.
