Turquoise Bead and Silver Tone Link Necklace with Heart Pendant - A link necklace featuring polished turquoise beads and silver-toned metal components. The necklace is composed of round turquoise beads, each approximately 6 to 8 millimeters in diameter, showing natural color variations ranging from light green to blue-green with sections of dark matrix. Each bead is held between decorative metal end caps and joined by short lengths of cable chain. The necklace fastens with a toggle clasp comprising a circular ring and a T-bar. A flat, solid heart-shaped charm pendant is attached to the toggle ring by two jump rings. There are no hallmarks, maker's marks, or signatures visible on the pendant, clasp, or findings. Length: 16 inches Width: 0.75 inches (pendant). The necklace is in fair to good used condition. The heart-shaped pendant exhibits significant surface scratching and scuffing on both sides (Photo 2). One turquoise bead, positioned adjacent to the toggle clasp, shows a prominent natural fissure or crack (Photo 2). Moderate tarnishing and oxidation are present throughout the metal links, caps, and clasp (Photos 1 and 2).
