Description:
A contemporary, boho-chic strand necklace composed of assorted beads—likely glass, resin, wood, and stone—interspaced with small silver-tone spacers. The clasp is a large cast toggle in a rustic, antiqued silver finish, featuring a stamped crown emblem within a circle. The metal appears to be a pewter/alloy base with silver plating (no precious metal hallmarks visible). The beads include red cylindrical discs, blue-green and gray agate-like rounds, carved/etched metal-tone beads, yellow rondelles, and naturalistic wooden discs.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This appears to be a modern fashion necklace rather than an antique or precious-metal piece. The intentionally distressed, cast toggle and lack of ‘925’/sterling or maker’s name point to silver-plated pewter/alloy construction typical of contemporary boho brands. The crown logo on the clasp is a brand emblem, not a precious-metal hallmark. A word about fakes.. costume jewelry marketed as ‘vintage’ or ‘sterling’ is often misrepresented; always look for proper hallmarks and test the metal if claims of silver are made. As a decorative, wearable accessory, it has modest auction value but good styling appeal.

Provenance:
Not provided.
Condition:
Very good (light surface wear and intentional distressing on clasp; no major issues visible)
Identification Score: 80%
The large rustic silver-tone toggle with a crown emblem and the eclectic bead mix strongly indicate a contemporary boho costume necklace. While the exact brand is not identified, the construction and materials are clear.
Authenticity Score: 65%
Authentic as a contemporary costume-jewelry necklace (not pretending to be antique or fine jewelry). Confidence tempered by the unknown maker and absence of definitive branding; the crown stamp appears to be a logo rather than a hallmark. If claimed to be sterling or designer-branded, testing/verification would be required.
