Graduated Two-Tone Faux Pearl and Crystal Bead Necklace

This is a single-strand fashion necklace featuring a graduated bead design. The primary components are simulated pearls in two distinct colors: a light champagne or peach-toned cream and a deep burgundy or mahogany brown. The necklace transition from small, uniform cream faux pearls at the back to a focal front section featuring larger, alternating colored pearls. Between the larger pearls are small, faceted clear crystal or glass spacers that add textural contrast. The strand is finished with a gold-tone spring ring clasp. The larger 'statement' beads have a high-luster finish, though several display visible surface scuffing and minor loss of the pearlescent coating, particularly on the central burgundy bead. The smaller beads appear to be in better cosmetic condition with consistent sheen. Based on the construction, clasp type, and the use of coated plastic or glass cores, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century, specifically the 1980s or 1990s. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the clasp, indicating it is likely a mass-market costume jewelry piece. The overall craftsmanship is standard for commercial fashion jewelry of its era, intended for decorative rather than high-value investment use.
