About the Item

This is a striking vintage 1970s Italian costume jewelry necklace, a beautiful example of the era's bold use of color and geometric shape. The piece features an alternating pattern of smooth, round-to-oval black beads and vibrant coral orange square cube beads, all likely made from resin material popular in mid-century design. The black beads are capped on both sides with decorative gold-tone metal fittings, which adds an extra layer of visual interest and sophistication. These beads are connected by a distinctive gold-tone twisted link chain, which enhances the necklace's vintage appeal and texture. The overall look is one of chic, retro glam that remains timeless. This necklace is long, allowing it to be worn as a single dramatic strand or doubled for a shorter, layered effect. It’s perfect for collectors of vintage Italian or 1970s fashion accessories and would make an excellent statement piece for any modern outfit.

This stunning long Italian chain necklace is a classic piece of 1970s vintage costume jewelry, perfect for adding a touch of timeless glamour.
