Vintage 1970s 78” Continuous Flapper Rope Necklace – Faceted Black Glass & Faux Baroque Pearls

A dramatic vintage 1970s extra-long flapper-style rope necklace featuring strands of petite faceted black beads accented throughout with luminous faux baroque pearls and delicate gold-tone spacers. The contrast between the glossy jet-black beads and softly lustrous pearls creates an elegant, romantic statement.

 

Measuring an impressive approximately 78 inches long, this continuous endless strand offers so many styling possibilities. Wear it dramatically long, double or triple it around the neckline, or layer it at different lengths for a glamorous flapper-inspired look. The faceted black beads beautifully catch the light, while the irregular baroque-style faux pearls add softness and dimension.

 

A gorgeous statement piece for collectors of long vintage necklaces, flapper jewelry, black-and-pearl jewelry, and dramatic 1970s accessories.

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, fading, finish or plating wear, oxidation, variations in faux pearl surfaces, or other characteristics consistent with age.

 

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.

 

Please carefully review all photographs before purchasing. Photographs are an important part of the item’s condition description.

 

Unless specifically identified and stated in the individual listing, we do not guarantee exact metal composition, plating, glass, gemstone, pearl, bead, or other material composition. Descriptive terminology such as “gold-tone,” “glass,” “faceted,” “faux pearl,” “baroque,” and similar terms is used to describe the appearance, construction, color, or style and should not be interpreted as confirmation of a particular material unless specifically stated as verified.

 

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

 

Measurements are taken by hand and are approximate. Colors, finishes, textures, and decorative elements may appear somewhat different in person due to lighting, reflections, photography, and individual screen 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.

 

PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING. If you would like additional photographs, close-ups, measurements, photographs of the beads, faux pearls, spacers, stringing, or surface condition, please contact us through the live chat on our website before placing your order.
