Vintage chunky black and white bead necklace

In excellent vintage condition. This is a vintage beaded necklace featuring a striking black and white color scheme. The necklace is constructed with a series of chunky round beads strung together. Featuring alternating white and black beads. The black beads come in two forms: round and fluted (or ridged). The black accent beads are strategically placed, creating a focal point in the lower center of the necklace. Small, gold-tone cylindrical spacers are used between some of the beads, adding a touch of metallic detail and preventing the beads from rubbing against each other. The beads appear to be made of lucite or a similar type of plastic. This necklace is a vintage piece with a distinct retro aesthetic. It's bold, stylish, and makes a statement with its contrasting colors and chunky beads. The use of lucite and the design point to a likely origin in the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s. It's a great example of vintage costume jewelry that can add a touch of retro glamour to an outfit. Spring ring clasp. 28”
