Condition
Good. The pearls appear uniform in color, but there is visible gapping between pearls at the ends, and the wire loops show signs of slight oxidation or basic craft-level finishing.
Demand Level
Moderate - Pearls are a staple accessory, but unbranded costume pieces are common.

Description
A classic single-strand faux pearl choker featuring a flexible memory wire design. This wrap-style necklace easily adjusts to the neck size without the need for a clasp. The pearls are a creamy ivory white with a high-luster finish. Measuring approximately 14-16 inches in circumference, it is a versatile accessory for weddings, proms, or everyday vintage-inspired looks.
Key Features
Easy-on wrap design (clasp-less); timeless pearl aesthetic; adjustable fit due to memory wire flexibility.
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence in any 'designer' origin; construction suggests mass-produced craft or boutique jewelry. No maker's marks or metal purity stamps are visible.
Flaws to Note
Visible metal loops at the ends; slight gapping between the last few beads; potential for the pearl coating to flake if scratched.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, Depop, or Facebook Marketplace. These platforms are best for lower-priced, trendy accessories with low shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Sell as a 'bundle' or 'add-on' item to maximize profit against shipping costs. Use keywords like 'Coquette,' 'Bridal,' 'Regencycore,' and 'Minimalist'. Photograph on a jewelry bust to show how it sits on the neck.
