Vintage West German Smoky Gray Chunky Bead Statement Necklace A fabulous vintage statement necklace with a bold, sophisticated look. This substantial piece features oversized translucent smoky gray cylindrical beads alternating with coordinating round beads and warm gold-tone spacer accents. The varying shapes and sizes give the necklace wonderful dimension, while the transparent smoky charcoal coloring catches and reflects the light beautifully. The oversized geometric beads make this a true statement piece with a distinctly 1980s modernist/glam aesthetic. One of the best features of this necklace is its original “Made in W. Germany” paper tag, still attached. Because Germany was reunified in 1990, the West Germany marking definitively dates the necklace to pre-1990, adding both vintage provenance and collector interest. The beads have the appearance of Lucite, acrylic or a similar vintage synthetic material, but the exact composition has not been verified, so I am not representing them as genuine Lucite.
