A vintage long necklace of exceptional beauty, composed of various shades of greenish, yellowish-gray and transparent lemon beads. The surface is warm to the touch, gently shiny, and the colors of the beads are not the same — this is a characteristic feature of the early type of plastic - catalin (Bakelite family).When heated or rubbed, a subtle ancient smell of soap or wax is felt, confirming the authentic material. The necklace is fastened with an openwork brass lock-type clasp, which has acquired a natural patina over time.The length of the necklace allows it to be worn on one long chain or in two rows. This is a classic example of mid-20th century fashion, combining a sculptural shape, warm tones and light retro luxury.
