1950s Japanese Costume Jewelry Necklace Aqua Lucite Beads
Beautiful vintage multi-strand necklace featuring soft aqua blue satin-finish beads, textured sugar-bead accents, and clear faceted lucite/acrylic beads with silver-tone spacers. Marked “Japan” on the clasp, dating it likely to the mid-century era (1950s–1960s). Lightweight with a dreamy pastel color palette that gives classic retro spring/summer styling.
The necklace appears to be made from molded lucite/acrylic beads rather than gemstones, which is common and collectible for Japanese costume jewelry of this period.
Condition:
Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear to metal findings. Some patina/discoloration on chain links and clasp hardware visible in photos. Beads remain vibrant and intact.
