    Small strand of spinach Jade beads. 14.5 " long. Can you confirm that this is what I have? Definitely real stone. The color is very consistent but a couple beads do have a little variation. I am seeing values all over the place. Some are extremely high. I was thinking under $20 but maybe even $50? What would be realistic?

    Very nice, and I have no reason to think it isn't the real deal.

    It's nice! I have that exact same necklace, right down to the clasp. From a yard sale years ago. My clasp says "sterling" on the side, very hard to see.

    I didn't see a mark on the clasp but will check again.

    The clasp has wear to the color. Likely gold-filled. Shine a light through the beads to confirm. It could be cameras and screens, but they look a funny color for jade. Like I know jade, but....

    image000001 (3).jpg Yes @evelyb30 @verybrad , my necklace clasp is definitely gold plated/ wash
    It's marked "Sterling" very small on both sides, need a loupe to see it

    Clasp is marked sterling, very tiny and faintly. Regular magnifying glass did not pick it up, but a loupe did. Also, gold plated. My beads have less variation than do Stracci's in the above picture. Otherwise, very similar. They are very dark and light does not shine through them. Hard to photograph. My first and third photos are in daylight with added LED light. Second picture is daylight only.
