Green Aventurine or Jadeite Beaded Necklace

This item is a single-strand beaded necklace composed of approximately 60 to 70 uniform, round spherical beads. The beads exhibit a medium forest green hue with subtle translucency and various internal inclusions, suggesting a natural stone material such as aventurine or a lower-grade jadeite. Each bead appears to be approximately 6-8mm in diameter, hand-strung without visible knots between the units. A prominent feature is the oval-shaped vintage filigree fishhook clasp, finished in a dark antiqued silver or gunmetal tone, which indicates a mid-to-late 20th-century construction Style. The craftsmanship appears consistent with mid-market costume or semi-precious fine jewelry from the 1960s through the 1980s. While no official hallmarks are visible on the metal in this view, the intricate floral scrollwork on the clasp suggests a higher level of detail than mass-produced modern equivalents. The overall condition appears used but well-preserved; there are no immediate signs of cracked beads or significant fraying of the internal thread. There is a slight patina on the metal clasp consistent with its age. The stone beads maintain a soft polished luster without heavy pitting, though natural variations in color intensity are apparent across the strand.
