VTG BIG CHUNKY NECKLACE by ART~3 STRANDS of FANCY WHITE PLASTIC BEADS

Beautiful 3 strand necklace by Art from the 1960's era. The beads in this are pretty spectacular due to the various special effects on them. Snow white in color you see deeply corrugated ones that look like nuggets, semi transparent ones that have soft swirls in them, opaque ones that have a crystallized effect on them giving them the look of those beautiful porcelain vases which utilize that type of glaze, also icy looking beads which have a foiled look to them, like melting ice cubes. All in plastic, very cool. The beads are graduated in size and the strands are graduated in length. The biggest bead is a nugget one which measures 20mm. Gold plated filigree bead caps and small spacer beads add interest and definition to the piece. The connectors and extender chain are high quality with light textures in the connector metals, a different effect on each side. One side has a light stippled texture, the other has light criss cross striations. The chain is gorgeous with large links and embossed designs. It is in excellent vintage condition, especially nice is the way the string has not loosened at all, it's nice and tight all he way to the connectors.It is stamped Art on the back of one of the connectors. Measures as follows: Top shortest strand is 14~1/2" long which includes the connectors but not the extender chain. The extender chain is approx. 4~1/2" long. The total adjustable length is 19~1/4" long. So versatile, this will be terrific for summer wear but also great with your winter white wardrobe. Nice!
