Graduated Peach Moonstone or Glass Bead Necklace

This is a single-strand necklace composed of graduated, irregularly shaped beads, likely made from peach moonstone or a type of glass designed to mimic its schiller effect. The beads exhibit a soft, translucent peachy-orange hue with an observable adularescence or sheen that appears to move across the surface when light hits it, characteristic of moonstone or similar materials. The shapes of the beads are not uniformly round but appear organic and slightly flattened or pillow-like, with some exhibiting multi-faceted or undulating surfaces. The necklace measures approximately 16 inches in length and weighs 31 grams, as indicated by the digital scale it rests upon. The beads are strung together, separated by smaller, possibly gold-toned, spacer beads or knots, though the image resolution makes it difficult to definitively distinguish. The clasp visible at one end is a simple spring ring clasp, appearing to be gold-toned metal, which generally indicates a more common or costume jewelry-grade fitting rather than fine jewelry. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible on the beads from the provided image. The consistent color and graduated size suggest a deliberate design, potentially dating from the mid-20th century onwards, a period when such organic shapes and materials were popular in costume jewelry. The craftsmanship, while appearing solid for a beaded piece, does not suggest high-end fine jewelry due to the clasp style and irregular bead shaping, which could be natural or manufactured to appear so.
