An early 20th century seed pearl and imitation pearl necklace, with gold diamond clasp.

Overall condition fair. Seed pearls are a creamy-white colour, with slight rose overtones. Fairly poor skins with surface blemishes, to include pits and growth lines. Light nacre damage to some. Seed pearls mainly of similar size but unmatched in shape. Most are off-round. Without the aid of laboratory equipment, it has not been possible to determine if these cultured pearls are from a fresh or saltwater source. There are a small amount of imitation pearl, predominantly four of the larger central beads and some smaller beads near the clasp. The clasp has small surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general age and wear. Estimated total diamond weight less than 0.01ct.
