In the 1940s, clear red faceted shimmering bead necklaces were all the rage. You could buy them either in glass (more expensive back in the day) or more cheaply faked in plastic (i.e., Bakelite). How things have changed! Now Bakelite, the discontinued material, commands top dollar, while glass, ever a constant in our lives, doesn't. The look? Identical!
The necklace is 28 inches, so it hangs 14. The biggest bead is an inch long.
Add a touch of retro glamour to your jewelry collection with this vintage Cherry Amber Faceted Glass Necklace. The oval-shaped glass beads are beautifully faceted to catch the light and shimmer in a rich red color. The necklace has a spring ring closure, measures 28 inches in length, and is handcrafted for a unique touch. The necklace is perfect for any special occasion, such as weddings, birthdays, graduations, and more. The necklace is an original piece from the 1940s and has a Bakelite look, adding to its vintage appeal.
