Barbara’s Picks: Statement Necklaces
Add a unique, colorful and bold jewel to make a simple outfit pop. These statement necklaces are guaranteed to get you noticed.
Black & White Marbled Glass Bead Necklace
1930s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage NecklacesThis 1930s French necklace is a lovely take on black-and-white. What appear as white glass beads are actually clear glass with white swirls. The variation in shape and size of beads adds to the beauty of this substantial piece. The beads and black spacers are strung on chain. This jewel closes with a barrel clasp. Once part of my personal collection, this stunning piece is perfect for a woman who likes to wear cool colors.USD$395.00USD$395.00
Blue Glass & Chrome Fringe Necklace
1930s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage NecklacesThis fringe statement necklace has cobalt-blue glass tubes and chrome balls dangling from chrome links. The metal and fringe elements have a Machine Age-look and give this piece lots of movement! Some of the blue glass tubes have minor chips, but they are not noticeable when this beauty is worn. This 1930s necklace, which closes with an old-style spring-ring clasp, was part of my personal collection. I am reluctantly offering it to a new home. A perfect adornment for a woman who looks best in cool colors and loves statement pieces.USD$395.00USD$395.00
Amethyst Drop Necklace of Molded Glass
1920s Jewelry, Unsigned Jewelry, Vintage NecklacesThis amethyst drop necklace features a centerpiece of six molded-glass plaques. A seventh is suspended from an amethyst-glass bead flanked by tiny pearls. A delicate silver-tone paper-clip chain, which was very popular in the 1920s, and a spring-ring clasp complete the piece. This jewel is lovely with a V-neckline. Scroll down to see a complementary amethyst Art Deco bracelet.USD$275.00USD$275.00
Gold & Colored Bead 1950s Necklace with Fringe
1950s Jewelry, Hattie Carnegie Jewelry, Vintage NecklacesThis 1950s necklace illustrates a typical Hattie Carnegie theme – flora – with a clever combination of colors, shapes, and materials. Textured, gold-tone pineapple-shaped beads alternating with small carnelian-glass beads form the main necklace. Gold-tone beads in various shapes combined with onyx- and carnelian-glass beads dangle from the entire length of the piece. This elaborate fringe necklace closes with a pineapple-shaped box clasp.
