The clear Lucite beads have a luminous crystal-like appearance, while the opaque black beads provide sharp contrast and a sophisticated jet-black effect. This dramatic 1940s German Lucite necklace combines glossy black and crystal-clear faceted beads in a graduated double-strand design. The bold alternating colors and increasingly substantial beads toward the center create a striking dimensional effect while retaining the lighter, comfortable feel associated with molded Lucite. The necklace is marked GERMANY on its metal end finding. The plain GERMANY mark, together with the graduated double-strand construction, molded faceted beads, hook closure and period metal findings, supports a pre-1949 dating. Later German costume jewelry is frequently encountered with WEST GERMANY or W. GERMANY markings, making the simple GERMANY stamp an important period clue on this piece. Both strands feature beautifully faceted geometric beads that play with light in very different ways. The clear Lucite beads have a luminous crystal-like appearance, while the opaque black beads provide sharp contrast and a sophisticated jet-black effect. Smaller beads graduate toward the neckline, allowing the larger faceted beads to command attention across the front. A dangling black faceted bead adds a charming finishing detail at the adjustable closure. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It Black and clear Lucite creates a timeless high-contrast look. Double strand construction gives it wonderful dimension at the neckline. Graduated faceted beads make the front especially dramatic. Light-catching clear beads beautifully mimic the appearance of crystal. Marked GERMANY and consistent with pre-1949 construction. A fabulous 1940s statement necklace that remains remarkably wearable today. Condition Very good vintage condition with wear consistent with its age. The black and clear beads retain attractive shine with minor surface wear and small age-related imperfections visible upon close inspection. The metal findings, hook and connecting rings show expected oxidation, patina and discoloration from age. The GERMANY mark remains clearly legible. Please review the photographs closely as they form an important part of the condition description. Measurements Approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) in wearable length. The necklace features two graduated strands with the largest faceted beads concentrated across the center front and an adjustable hook-style closure.
