Product Details

Exceptional vintage mid-century statement necklace with a highly distinctive sculptural design that deserves a place in a serious vintage costume jewelry collection. The necklace combines luminous opaque white Lucite beads with beautifully textured gold-tone metal elements arranged in an elaborate graduated bib. Sculptural sweeping links cradle the smaller beads and terminate in oversized suspended Lucite spheres, creating remarkable dimension, movement and visual impact. The design is especially striking for its asymmetrical, almost kinetic construction. Rather than a conventional single-strand Lucite necklace, the lower section is built from individually articulated decorative components, allowing the large beads to move freely when worn. The combination of clean white Lucite, richly textured metal and exaggerated dimensional forms captures the bold experimentation found in better mid-century costume jewelry.
