Make a striking statement with this gorgeous Vintage Graduated Black Oval Bead Necklace! This classic piece features bold, lustrous black oval beads, expertly graduated in size from smaller at the back to impressively substantial at the front, creating a truly dramatic and elegant silhouette. The beads, likely high-quality vintage glass or early plastic, exhibit a captivating deep black hue with subtle internal variations, mimicking the allure of natural stone. A testament to its craftsmanship, each bead is meticulously hand-knotted on sturdy thread, ensuring both durability and a luxurious drape. The necklace is secured with a classic screw barrel clasp, a hallmark of pieces from the early to mid-20th century (circa 1920s-1950s). This design beautifully captures the sleek sophistication of the Art Deco era or the confident style of mid-century fashion.
It's the perfect statement piece to instantly elevate a plain top, add drama to an evening look, or simply infuse your daily style with authentic vintage flair.
Condition: This necklace is in very good vintage condition. The beads maintain their striking lustre with only minor surface wear commensurate with age. The subtle marbling" seen in some beads is likely part of their original character. The individual knotting between each bead appears strong and intact. The screw barrel clasp is fully functional and shows a typical aged patina.
