Vintage retro antique purple faceted bead necklace, pre-owned costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique costume necklace consists of a succession of translucent purple faceted beads, arranged in a regular row. The beads have a slightly flattened spherical shape and are uniformly spaced, creating an elegant and luminous effect under the light. The finish of the beads gives them a sparkling appearance, accentuated by their worked surface which catches reflections.

The mauve to light purple hue of the beads, combined with their transparency, evokes the retro aesthetic of mid-20th century costume jewelry. The entire piece is mounted on an invisible thread between each bead, ensuring flexibility and a nice drape around the neck. The necklace is presented in a white-lined box, with no visible brand or signature on the photographed part.

The structure of the necklace, with its regular beads and subtle color, makes it an ideal accessory to complete a vintage outfit or to add a retro touch to a contemporary look. No charms or pendants are visible on the exposed side, the design highlighting the simplicity and brilliance of the beads themselves.

The piece shows no apparent signs of oxidation or tarnishing on the visible parts, suggesting a good overall condition for a pre-owned piece of jewelry. The surface of the beads appears well-preserved, with no major chips or scratches observable in the photograph.
