AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Large antique turquoise paste necklace, composed of substantial, polished beads strung on a black cord. A decorative piece with a strong presence, highlighted 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 structured drop, with wide elements arranged in a slight fan shape, creating a beautiful bib effect.

The beads offer a brilliant finish in a rich turquoise hue, punctuated by small dark inclusions that animate the material. The black knotted cord mounting provides a sober 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 large, colorful, and expressive modules. The composition prioritizes visual impact: large volumes, bold color, bead rhythm, and a structured central drop.

Condition

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