Black onyx (EUC) sterling clasp graduating bead 18 1/2”, 58gram necklace jewelry

Necklace is in excellent used condition and kept in a clean smoke free home. Black onyx is known as a powerful protection stone. Its deep black color is associated with the night, symbolizing strength, perseverance, and the ability to overcome challenges. It is believed to absorb negative energy and provide emotional and physical strength to its wearer. Beautiful black stones are the gemstone onyx and the clasp is sterling silver. The last photo shows the test results of the silver on the necklace. #1 in photo is the silver tone beads between the black stones and as shown it did not turn blue. Turning blue means sterling silver. So the silver tone beads are not sterling but the clasp is. #2,3,4 show the blue and is different areas of the clasp. I don’t know if the pearl is a genuine pearl. It did not register on my gem testing device but pearls can be tricky like that. It looks pearl and may have a coating… but again may not be a genuine pearl. Pretty regardless. 58 grams in weight. The larger beads in the center have a nice weight to them. It looks like it may have been marked or signed on the arm that locks the side of the clasp. I cannot make out what is there, brand unknown. Black stone beads are 4mm to the largest front center approximate 18mm and the silver tone beads are 5mm. Beautiful black onyx 18 1/2” necklace with a round box type clasp with a pearl. #gemstone #onyx #necklace #jewelry
