Vintage Mid Century 1950s Graduated Black and similar items

This is a Hard-To-Find, Hand Strung "Black Lucite Root Beer Acrylic Golden Yellow Crackle Graduated Sized Beads With Gold Spacers Single Strand Necklace" from the late-1950s. Purchased by my neighbor's mother in 1958, it has been worn frequently over the past 60+ years and comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home. The Original Spring Ring Clasp broke in 1982 and was replaced with the current Lobster Claw Clasp. Getting ready to move her mom to assisted living, there is TOO Much Jewelry for her to take it all. Her LOSS can be Your GAIN! Measuring approximately 26 inches long, the Lobster Claw Clasp works smoothly and holds securely; it is NOT Marked.

A UNIQUE Necklace, it is composed of securely strung graduated sized Beads. The Black Lucite, Root Beer Acrylic and translucent Golden Yellow Crackle Beads are accented to PERFECTION by the high polished surface of the Gold Spacers beads, creating a BEAUTIFUL Necklace with an aura of captivating earthiness.
