Vintage 1960s Teal Silk-Wrapped Bead Long Endless Necklace

This one is gorgeous, and the 1960s dating makes sense for the satin/silk-wrapped beads and long continuous construction. The rich teal color with those tiny gold-tone spacers gives it such a beautiful mid-century look.

A striking vintage 1960s long beaded necklace featuring round beads wrapped in lustrous teal-blue silky thread, individually separated by petite gold-tone spacer beads. The wrapped construction creates a gorgeous luminous effect, with the silky fibers catching the light and giving the beads their distinctive sheen.

At approximately 30 inches long, the necklace features an endless continuous design without a traditional clasp. Its longer silhouette makes it beautiful worn as a single strand or styled with other vintage necklaces for a layered look. The jewel-toned teal and warm gold-tone accents make this an especially beautiful statement piece.

VINTAGE JEWELRY NOTE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

This is a pre-owned vintage piece and has had a life before arriving at Edition Styles. Due to the age and pre-owned nature of vintage jewelry, pieces may show minor signs of previous wear, age, handling, or storage. This may include light surface wear, small scratches, patina, tarnishing, discoloration, finish or plating wear, oxidation, slight variations in texture, or other characteristics consistent with age. These qualities are part of the individual history and character of authentic vintage jewelry.

We carefully inspect, photograph, and describe our vintage jewelry to the best of our ability. Any notable flaws observed during our inspection will be disclosed in the individual description and/or shown in the photographs. However, vintage jewelry is not new, and small or subtle signs of age and previous wear may be present even when an item is described as being in beautiful, excellent, or good vintage condition.

Please carefully review all photographs before purchasing. Photographs are an important part of the item’s condition description and are provided so you can examine the overall appearance and details of the piece.

Unless specifically identified and stated in the individual listing, we do not guarantee exact metal composition, plating, gemstone composition, pearl composition, fiber composition, or other material content. Descriptive terminology such as “gold-tone,” “silver-tone,” “rhinestone,” “crystal,” “stone,” “cabochon,” “faux pearl,” “pearl-like,” “silk-wrapped,” and similar terms may be used to describe the appearance, color, design, or style of the piece and should not be interpreted as confirmation of precious-metal, natural-gemstone, genuine-pearl, pure-silk, or other specific material content unless explicitly stated as verified.

Any era or date provided is based on available maker information, markings, construction, design, style, provenance, and/or our best assessment of the piece. Unless an exact date is documented or otherwise specifically stated as confirmed, vintage dating should be considered an estimate.

Measurements, when provided, are taken by hand and are approximate. Slight variations may occur. Colors, metal tones, stones, finishes, textures, and decorative elements may also appear somewhat different in person due to photography lighting, camera settings, editing, reflections, surrounding light, and individual screen/display settings.

Because vintage jewelry can become more delicate with age, we recommend handling pieces carefully and avoiding unnecessary exposure to water, perfume, hairspray, lotions, household cleaners, chemicals, and excessive moisture to help preserve their vintage finish and construction. Thread-wrapped beads should be handled especially carefully to help prevent snagging, fraying, staining, or moisture damage.
