I love the colors on that necklace. Your instincts are right--that lobster clasp tells us it's a more contemporary necklace. But the "beads" are reminiscent of some of the older pressed bakelite pieces. Good eye!
Thank you for your input :) Do you have an estimate for decade? 90s/2000s maybe?
 
You know what, Caleb? I spoke too soon! I think of the lobster clasp as new, but wasn't thinking about how old I AM! I did a little research, and it was introduced in the '70s, and became fairly universal in the '90s. So you could find many vintage items with a lobster clasp. Your particular necklace is not likely to be the older type of vintage I'm thinking of, but they might be from the '80s or later.

Is that a name tag on the oval piece at the far end of the chain? What does it say??
