18-Inch Tanzanite and Sterling Silver Tennis Necklace

This is a classic 'tennis style' linear necklace measuring approximately 18 inches in length. The piece is meticulously constructed with a continuous sequence of small, oval-cut tanzanite gemstones. Each gemstone displays a characteristic light-to-medium violet-blue hue consistent with 'AA' grade material, showing decent clarity and pleochroism under the light. The stones are secured in individual four-prong basket settings made of polished white metal, identified by the user as sterling silver. The links are articulated to allow the necklace to drape flexibly along the contours of the wearer's neck. While no specific maker's mark is visible in the photograph, the craftsmanship indicates a contemporary manufacturing style, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The condition appears to be very good with no missing stones or significant visible damage to the prongs, though minor surface scratches on the silver and slight professional cleaning may be needed to maintain its high-luster finish. The uniformity of the stone matching across the strand suggests a quality production standard for semi-precious fine jewelry.
