Old large turquoise paste necklace, geometric beads on cord

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Large antique turquoise paste necklace, composed of substantial, lustrous beads mounted on a black cord. A decorative piece with a striking presence, enhanced by a dense and luminous turquoise color.

Description

Antique turquoise paste necklace, featuring a series of large tubular, rectangular, and curved beads. The central part forms a more architectural drop, with wide elements arranged in a slight fan shape, creating a beautiful bib effect.

The beads offer a shiny finish, in a rich turquoise tone, punctuated by small dark inclusions that animate the material. The mounting on a knotted black cord provides a subtle contrast and highlights the generous volumes of the piece.

Context

This necklace falls into the category of antique costume jewelry with a strong decorative presence, where turquoise paste allows for the creation of ample, colorful, and expressive modules. The composition prioritizes visual impact: large volumes, bold color, the rhythm of the beads, and a structured central drop.

Condition

Second-hand item, sold as is. Good overall appearance with signs of use consistent with age and handling: small marks, dark spots, slight surface irregularities, and use-related patina on some beads. The cord has an antique, knotted appearance.
