Description:
Eclectic, boho-style strand necklace composed of assorted beads (including dyed red resin/coral-like discs, wood heishi, agate/glass rounds in blue and gray, yellow glass, and silver-tone spacers) and finished with a large, hammered silver-tone toggle clasp cast in a pewter-like base metal. The clasp bears a small stamped crown hallmark. No precious-metal marks are visible, indicating costume jewelry. Likely a fashion-brand or artisan-assembled piece using commercial findings.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
A colorful, contemporary fashion necklace with intentionally distressed, hammered clasp and a generic crown hallmark. The mix of materials and lack of precious-metal marks point to modern costume jewelry rather than fine silver. Appeal lies in its bold, bohemian look. A word about fakes.. Costume jewelry often uses motifs and hallmarks (like crowns) reminiscent of well-known brands; without a full brand signature or 925 mark, assume it is a generic or artisan piece rather than a premium designer work.

Identification Score: 70%
Bead mix, hammered toggle clasp, and generic crown stamp are typical of modern boho costume necklaces; absence of brand name or silver content marks limits certainty on maker.
Authenticity Score: 70%
Authentic as a modern costume necklace with commercially made components; however, the specific brand is unconfirmed and crown stamps are widely used by findings suppliers.
