Vintage Red Glass Seed Bead Necklace, Multi Strand Necklace, Mid Century Jewellery, Long Red Beaded Necklace
DESCRIPTION
A beautiful vintage multi-strand necklace made from numerous strings of tiny, translucent red seed beads.
The vivid scarlet-red beads have a lovely sparkle as they catch the light, while the large number of fine strands gives the necklace a wonderfully full and fluid appearance. The strands are gathered into decorative gold-tone metal end caps and secured with an engraved barrel-style screw clasp.
At approximately 23 inches long, the necklace falls elegantly around the neckline and makes a striking statement without feeling overly heavy or chunky. Its rich red colouring would look fabulous worn against black, cream or a contrasting vintage print.
A wonderfully wearable piece of mid-century costume jewellery, perfect for adding colour and texture to both everyday and occasion outfits.
