Description:
A chunky, boho-style necklace composed of assorted beads—including red cylindrical discs (likely resin), brown heishi-like discs (possibly coconut/wood), opaque and translucent round beads (glass and possible agate), carved and corrugated silver-tone spacers, and other mixed glass beads—strung with small silver-tone separator beads. The clasp is a cast, silver-plated pewter toggle-style component with a deliberately distressed/hammered surface. The clasp bears a small stamped crown device (no letters or fineness marks). This is modern costume jewelry rather than precious-metal fine jewelry.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This is a modern, artisan-style fashion necklace assembled from mixed beads and finished with a rustic, silver-plated pewter toggle clasp. The crown touchmark is decorative and not a recognized precious-metal hallmark. Without a branded hangtag (e.g., UNO de 50, Brighton, etc.) it should be treated as unbranded costume jewelry. A word about fakes.. costume jewelry frequently uses motifs like crowns that resemble well-known brands; unless a clear maker’s tag accompanies the piece, assume generic fashion jewelry rather than a specific designer. Auction value is modest and tied to visual appeal rather than intrinsic materials.
Individual Images:
Primary close-up shows the clasp: a cast silver-tone toggle with hammered/oxidized finish and a small stamped crown on the flat plate; no other letters or numbers visible. Beads immediately adjacent include: a teal-blue translucent oval
stacked red cylindrical discs (likely resin)
brown heishi discs (wood/coconut)
yellow bead
grey-blue agate-like rounds
and silver-tone spacer beads. A large corrugated silver-tone oval bead is visible further along the strand. Other provided images appear to be screenshots referencing different bracelets (pearlescent stretch bracelet
black/white bead-and-chain bracelet
blue briolette memory-wire bracelet) and do not pertain to this necklace; they do not provide further details about the item shown in the main image.
Provenance:
No provenance or purchase documentation provided.
Condition:
Very good (light surface wear/tarnish to silver-tone clasp; beads appear intact)
Identification Score: 85%
The mixed non-precious beads, distressed silver-tone cast clasp, and lone crown stamp strongly indicate a contemporary bohemian costume necklace. Form and construction are consistent with early 21st‑century fashion jewelry.
Authenticity Score: 35%
Authenticity of a specific brand cannot be confirmed: the crown device is generic, there are no metal fineness marks (e.g., 925), and no maker’s signature tag is visible. Given heavy reproduction in this category, the safest assumption is an unbranded modern piece.
Image Memory Note
Object: A bohemian-style mixed-bead necklace. Beads: red stacked cylindrical discs (resin), brown flat heishi discs (wood/coconut), yellow round bead, multiple grey-blue opaque/translucent round beads resembling agate, teal-blue translucent oval bead, mottled tan/olive bead, carved/corrugated silver-tone oval bead, and many small round silver-tone spacer beads. Clasp: large silver-tone cast toggle-like component with a roughly triangular plate on one side and an open oval loop on the other, joined by a bar-and-pin mechanism; surface intentionally distressed/hammered with darkened recesses suggesting silver-plated pewter or zinc alloy. Mark: on the broad plate of the clasp, a small stamped crown (three main points with smaller side points; no cross visible; no text). No other marks or numbers are visible anywhere in the close-up. Condition observations: light surface wear and darkened recesses on the clasp consistent with fashion antiquing; beads appear intact with light scuffs typical of glass/resin; no broken strands visible. Background: wood surface with visible grain. Additional images: screenshots showing unrelated bracelets (a white faux-pearl stretch cuff; a black/white bead-and-chain bracelet; a blue briolette memory-wire bracelet) with price ranges; these are not the same object as the primary image.
