Vintage 1990s Black Onyx-Style Acrylic Bead Knotted Statement Necklace – 31”

A beautiful vintage 1990s black beaded necklace featuring a long single strand of large, glossy round black beads. The rich jet-black finish creates a timeless, sophisticated look reminiscent of classic black onyx jewelry, while the substantial bead size gives the necklace a bold statement silhouette.

At approximately 31 inches long, this piece falls beautifully below the neckline and can be styled with dresses, blouses, knits, or layered with other vintage jewelry. The simple monochromatic design makes it incredibly versatile while still having the dramatic presence associated with 1990s costume jewelry.

The beads are described as black onyx-style acrylic rather than genuine onyx; comparable vintage 1990s pieces are also commonly described as acrylic/faux-onyx beads.

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 wear, variations in texture, 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 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 verified, we do not guarantee exact metal, gemstone, glass, acrylic, plastic, bead, or other material composition. Terms such as “onyx-style,” “acrylic,” “bead,” and similar terminology may be used descriptively to indicate the appearance or style of a piece and should not be interpreted as confirmation of genuine onyx or another natural gemstone.

Any era or date provided is based on available 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 and finishes may appear somewhat different in person due to lighting, photography, reflections, 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, stringing, clasp, hardware, maker’s marks, or surface condition, please contact us through the live chat on our website before placing your order.

By purchasing, please make sure you have carefully reviewed the complete listing description, measurements, condition information, and all available photographs.
