Multi-Colored Freshwater Pearl Operatic Length Necklace

This is a continuous strand of pearls, approximately 36 to 40 inches in length, characteristic of an 'opera' or 'rope' style necklace allowing for versatile wear. The piece features freshwater cultured pearls with a semi-round to near-round shape. The color palette is a sophisticated mix of natural hues, including creamy white, soft lavender-pink, and dusty champagne-bronze tones. Each pearl appears to be approximately 7mm to 8mm in diameter with a visible silk thread knotting between each bead, which provides security if the strand breaks and prevents the pearls from rubbing against one another. The luster appears moderately high, reflecting light well across the curved surfaces. While some surface irregularities typical of freshwater growth are expected, the pearls generally exhibit a smooth skin. No visible clasp is seen, suggesting an endless strand construction meant to be slipped over the head or doubled up. The condition appears excellent with no noticeable peeling of the nacre or significant fraying of the cord, indicating it is likely a modern piece produced within the last 20 years. The craftsmanship of the individual knotting suggests a quality jeweler's assembly.
