Faceted Clear Bead Necklace with Gold-Tone Toggle Clasp

This item is a necklace composed of numerous faceted clear beads, strung together to form an 18-inch strand. The total weight of the necklace is 60 grams. Each bead appears to be made of a clear, possibly glass or crystal material, featuring multiple facets that catch and reflect light, creating a sparkling effect. The beads are uniform in size and shape, spherical with precise cuts, suggesting either machine-cutting or highly skilled hand-faceting. They are individually knotted or separated by small spacers on a white or light-colored thread or string, which is visible between the beads and contributes to the overall flexibility and drape of the necklace. The necklace is secured by a gold-tone toggle clasp. One part of the clasp features a small, rectangular, clear faceted gemstone or crystal set in a gold-tone bezel, connected to a jump ring. The other part of the clasp is a simple gold-tone T-bar. Both components of the clasp show a bright, consistent gold coloration, likely plated metal. The condition appears to be good; no significant chips, cracks, or discoloration are visible on the beads or the metal components. The clarity of the beads is excellent, indicating minimal wear or superficial scratching. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided images. The design suggests a classic and versatile style, potentially dating from the mid-20th century to contemporary times, possibly an elegant costume jewelry piece or a genuine crystal necklace, depending on the material of the beads.
