Imitation pearls may have a high sentimental value, but not much dollar value. Is there a story with this strand?

Not much value. A few dollars only. Fun for costumes.

The clasp is genuine silver although small hopefully the price of silver there days increases the price to just over a few dollars lol but it’s really just the sentimental value to was hoping for more info using the clasp as a date point

The clasp has marcasite stones, adding sparkle and possibly dating the clasp to the 1940-1950's.

I also have my grandmother's faux pearl necklace with a sterling silver clasp. She gave it to me when I was 11 because she knew I loved pearls. I still have it 56 years later, and I wear it occasionally. I'll pass it down to my niece or her daughter eventually. It's really not worth anything except the sentimental value I have for it. There's no easy way to date a clasp like that exactly. Those were available for several decades, and are even copied today for vintage look jewelry. My grandmother and her generation wore their faux pearls proudly.
