Black Pearl Necklace Value

[ab926]

I am curious as to the value of this necklace. The pearls are black, and the necklace is about 17 in long. On the clasp it says 4/20. I do not know much else about it, as I received the necklace as a gift about 10 years ago.

Thank you.

Hard to tell in these photos, but they look like freshwater to me, which means they are dyed to that color. Pics for more info!

Hi
I see those all the time. They are Chinese cultured freshwater pearls. Wholesale strand worth 7-8$$$ Finished necklace probably $40 when new.

The clasp probably says 14/20, which means 14k gold fill clasp. Meaning by weight, 5% is 14k gold fused to the outside of the base metal clasp. Gold filled findings are heavier and most lasting than gold plated. Yes, dyed cultured freshwater pearls.
