Pearl Necklace with 14K Gold Clasp Listed in Beloit Auction

Beloit Auction & Realty’s online catalog carried an entry titled “Elegant Pearl Necklace with 14K Gold Clasp,” described on the lot page as “A beautiful strand of white pearls. The necklace is finished with a secure 14K gold clasp. A classic accessory for any occasion.” The lot page displayed real-time bidding information and an auction end date of Feb. 25, 2026, and the auction location is listed as 534 West Grand Avenue, Beloit, WI.

The Beloit listing was accompanied by a full Auction Terms & Conditions header and a numbered clause list ranging from (1.) Bidder Registration through (30.) Limitation of Liability, including (15.) Legal Contract (UCC §2-328), (25.) Staggered Closing, (26.) Soft Close, and a Technology Disclaimer. Shipping and pickup language was explicit: “If you request shipping, a separate invoice will be issued covering shipping, handling, and insurance charges. Packaging begins on the Saturday immediately following the close of the auction. Cancelling a shipping request after 11:00 AM on Saturday will result in a minimum $30 fee to cover packing materials and labor already performed.” The presence of staggered closing and soft close mechanics and the packing timetable are practical details that affect remote bidders.

The pearl strand also appeared in marketplace snippets beyond Beloit, though the links among listings remain unproven. A LiveAuctioneers entry labeled “14K Gold Clasp Pearl Necklace. 14K Gold Clasp Pearl Necklace. Lot 5606. Estimate $200-$400 Feb 28, 2026, 3:00 PM PST. Starting Price. Secure. $75. SET YOUR MAX” shows a different date and a starting bid of $75, but the LiveAuctioneers excerpt does not provide seller attribution, lot photographs, or a full description to tie it definitively to Beloit’s Feb. 25 lot.

For further market context, Case Antiques offered a clearly distinct pearl example in its 2026 Winter Fine Art & Antiques sale. Case Antiques Lot 990 was billed as “Ladies' pearl necklace featuring eighty-eight (88) cultured pearls approximately 8mm each with a 14K yellow gold butterfly clasp encrusted by forty-two (42) round brilliant cut melee diamonds, four (4) marquise cut natural emeralds, two (2) pear shaped natural rubies, and two (2) pear shaped natural sapphires. The clasp XRF tests 14K gold. The necklace is 32 in. L.” That lot carried an estimate of $700 - $800 and showed a current bid of $350 with one recorded bid; the Knoxville gallery contact lines appear as “Knoxville (865) 558-3033 • Nashville (615) 812-6096 • info@caseantiques.com,” and international shipping is handled via Crate Pros, contact Tim at 865-217-6121 or knoxville@cratepros.net.

A separate marketplace note shows Invaluable listing text: “Bid now on Invaluable: Black Pearl Necklace with 14K White Gold Clasp from Link Auction Galleries on March 14, 2026, 10:00 AM CST,” which underscores that numerous pearl strands with 14K clasps circulate across platforms in February and March 2026 but are not necessarily the same object.

Beloit’s brief lot description omits key gemological details found in Case Antiques’ listing: there is no pearl count, size, length, or clutch hallmark specified on the Beloit excerpt, and Beloit’s public lot page did not provide an estimate or visible lot number in the excerpted material. To reconcile platform dates and determine market value for the Beloit strand, confirmation from Beloit Auction & Realty of the lot number, complete description, photographs, and the final sale price would clarify whether the Feb. 25 listing corresponds to syndicated entries or stands alone.
