Item Description:This stunning mid-century statement necklace dates back to the mid-20th century, specifically the mid-1950s to the 1960s.Up for sale is a gorgeous, authentic triple-strand necklace featuring highly faceted bicone glass beads. Each bead is treated with the iconic iridescent Aurora Borealis (AB) coating, reflecting brilliant, rainbow-like flashes of pink, blue, yellow, and green when it catches the light. This legendary coating technique was co-invented by Swarovski and fashion designer Christian Dior in 1955, exploding in popularity immediately following its release through the 1960s.Unlike most tight, restrictive mid-century chokers, this piece offers a highly desirable, adjustable fit that is comfortable for modern neck sizes.Specifications & Features:Length: Fully adjustable from 17 inches to 19 inches (measured end-to-end), dropping beautifully around the collarbone.Weight: 96.32 grams. This substantial heft proves the necklace is crafted from premium, authentic vintage leaded-glass crystals—not lightweight modern plastic or acrylic reproductions.Clasp Type: Decorative silver-tone metal slide/box bar clasp featuring a lovely floral hook element and classic mid-century silver-tone corrugated hourglass spacers.Markings: Unsigned / No maker's mark or hallmark found, which is completely typical for many beautiful costume pieces of this era.Condition Details:PLEASE see all photos. The glass crystal strands are in excellent vintage condition with exceptional clarity, high sparkle, and minimal surface wear.To be fully transparent, I have zoomed in on the box clamp to show that three tiny rhinestones are missing from the metal clasp component. The price has been adjusted accordingly for this minor cosmetic flaw, and it does not take away from how beautiful this unsigned piece looks when worn. The closure mechanism itself remains fully functional, secure, and ready to wear.
