Turquoise Glass Necklace with Antique Japanese Tibetan Netsuke
Located in Milford, DE
Extra-Long Turquoise Glass Necklace with Antique Japanese & Tibetan Netsuke Carvings and Mixed Organic Beads A truly one-of-a-kind wearable curiosity cabinet, this extraordinary necklace weaves bright turquoise glass beads with a constellation of antique hand-carved treasures. Each organic bead — miniature netsuke-style faces, animals, fruit-pit carvings, seed beads, and dark wooden talismans — carries the charm of old Asian craftsmanship and the quiet mystery of objects made by hand. The piece drapes in long, fluid layers, creating a sculptural, art-collector aesthetic. The result is an unmistakably soulful adornment: part amulet, part art object, part wanderer’s relic from forgotten markets of Kyoto, Lhasa, and Kathmandu. DESCRIPTION A dramatic, multi-strand long necklace composed of vibrant turquoise-blue glass beads accented with an eclectic mix of antique hand-carved elements. Among the stations are miniature netsuke carvings, vintage wooden beads, carved fruit-pit pieces, and rustic natural elements. Every bead is individually strung, maintaining the asymmetric rhythm and character of traditional folk adornment. The necklace is long enough to wrap twice or wear as a statement single opera-length strand. MATERIALS Turquoise-colored glass seed beads Antique carved netsuke beads...

It has been used as jewelry from 13,000 years ago with amber ornaments having been discovered in Mycenean tombs. Amber and amber extracts have been used medicinally in traditional Chinese medicine to "tranquilize the mind". Natural amber produces a distinct pinewood fragrance which when heated under the right conditions, produces oil of amber, likened to musk, an aphrodisiac.

Unique Vintage Beaded Necklaces for Sale — Diamond Beaded Necklaces, Pearl Beaded Necklaces and Other Accessories

Whether they’re chunky, statement-making accessories or a single strand of the understated sort, antique and vintage beaded necklaces are versatile pieces of jewelry. Indeed, the unique beaded necklaces in your jewelry box likely go with everything, from casual summer tops and shorts to dazzling evening gowns.

From the fish-bone and seashell jewelry of the prehistoric era to the breathtaking amulets and pendants of ancient Egypt to modern sapphire beads, people have been accessorizing with beaded necklaces for eternity.

Beaded necklaces — as well as other kinds of necklaces — were common in prehistoric times. Personal adornment was important, and jewelry was made for every part of the body. Beadwork is among the best known art forms attributed to Native Americans, and just as they had for saddlery and clothing, early populations would fashion beads for necklaces with stone tools or instruments made of wood. The making of colorful glass beads for beaded necklaces likely originated in Venice, Italy, during the 14th century, particularly given the growth of the decorative glass industry on the series of Venetian islands called Murano. During the Neolithic period, humans were buried with coral beaded necklaces from the Mediterranean, even as far north as the Alps.

Whether you’re seeking the pop of color you’ll get in a double-row jade beaded necklace from the Art Deco era — which encompasses the 1920s and ’30s and ushered in a very distinct look in jewelry design — or perhaps a simple strand of pearls for a blouse that leaves your neck bare, remember that different necklines call for different pieces of jewelry.

When accessorizing with a beaded necklace, a long piece with a pendant will likely pair best with your favorite vintage V-neck dress or V-neck tee, while beaded chokers and collar necklaces are a stylish fit for strapless tops. Bigger beads will hit your neckline in a different way than a more minimalist necklace might, so you’ll want to keep that in mind. Choose colors you like and pick items that will go with what is in your closet. When the occasion calls for it, don’t be afraid to stack. “More is more” for some, so pairing a delicate strand with a bolder piece might be the move for you.

On 1stDibs, find a collection of pearl beaded necklaces, antique emerald beaded necklaces, diamond beaded necklaces and more.
