Vintage 1980s Faux Pearl & Purple Bead Long Endless Flapper Necklace

This is such a pretty long strand, and 1980s works well for the listing, especially with the revival of long faux-pearl necklaces and layered vintage-inspired styling during that decade.

A beautiful vintage 1980s long continuous strand necklace featuring creamy faux pearls accented throughout with deep purple/burgundy translucent beads and petite gold-tone spacer details. The alternating accents give the classic pearl strand a little more color and dimension while still keeping it elegant and feminine.

At approximately 34 inches long, the continuous endless design can be worn as one dramatic long strand or styled and layered for a fuller look. It has a wonderful flapper-inspired feel that works beautifully with romantic, Victorian-revival, and classic vintage styling.

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, or other material content. Descriptive terminology such as “gold-tone,” “silver-tone,” “rhinestone,” “crystal,” “stone,” “cabochon,” “faux pearl,” “pearl-like,” and similar terms is 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, or other specific material content.

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.
