Single Strand Pearl Necklace

This item is a single strand pearl necklace, approximately 17 inches in length, as indicated by the additional context. It is composed of numerous individual pearls, appearing to be uniform in size and shape, suggesting they might be cultured pearls. The pearls exhibit a classic white to off-white hue with a visible luster, indicative of good quality nacre. Each pearl is individually knotted, a common sign of well-made pearl jewelry, preventing all pearls from scattering if the strand breaks and reducing abrasion between them. The overall shape of the pearls appears to be round to near-round, contributing to their high-quality appearance. The necklace is secured by a small, possibly gold-toned, oval-shaped clasp, which appears to be a basic spring ring or similar mechanism. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible from the provided image, so the manufacturer and exact age cannot be precisely determined. The condition seems good overall, with no obvious signs of significant wear, chips, or damage to the pearls themselves. The stringing appears intact, and the clasp functional. The classic design suggests it could be from the mid-20th century onwards, fitting various fashion periods given its timeless appeal. The consistent sizing and spherical nature of the pearls indicate a level of craftsmanship focused on creating a cohesive and visually appealing piece.
