About the Item
This striking vintage necklace from West Germany is a bold example of mid-century costume jewelry design. Crafted from glossy black glass beads, the piece features dramatic crescent-shaped drops that curve like sculptural claws or petals, suspended from a strand of graduated round beads.
The necklace is finished with a hook clasp and extender chain, offering a comfortable and adjustable fit. The gold-tone tag is stamped West Germany, indicating a production period likely between the late 1940s and early 1960s—during the height of post-war European costume jewelry craftsmanship.
Perfect for statement styling, the piece pairs beautifully with minimalist black ensembles or adds contrast to lighter fabrics. Its modernist silhouette and rich jet-black finish create a timeless, edgy elegance.
