Strung and knotted between each bead with a repair (see condition) this piece is both durable and lightweight, making it an ideal accessory for day-to-night wear. Whether paired with casual outfits or evening attire, this necklace adds a touch of vintage glamour to your look. Silver-tone ring and hook clasp marked W.Germany.
♥️ Dimensions ♥️
Length: Short at Approximately 38 cm
Bead size: Graduated beads from 6 mm to 12 mm
♥️ Age ♥️
Mid-century inspired, likely 1970s/80s production.
♥️ Condition ♥️
This necklace is in fair/good vintage condition, with all beads retaining their striking AB coating with some minor scuffs as expected for age. Small repair work to the end, with three added black non-ab coated beads with the thread knotted to the ring clasp fitting. This is reflected in the price.
Care instructions: Avoid exposing the necklace to moisture, perfumes, or harsh chemicals. Gently polish the beads with a soft cloth to maintain their finish.
