Vintage Qing Dynasty Jade Bead Necklace with 14K Gold Clasp, 18"
Located in Chesterland, OH
We are pleased to present this elegant vintage necklace composed of beautifully matched natural jade beads in warm, creamy honey and soft tan tones. The beads are undyed and untreated, displaying the rich opaque texture, soft natural luster, and organic character highly prized in antique jade. Each jade bead was individually hand-cut and hand-polished, revealing the craftsmanship associated with earlier Chinese jade carving traditions. Based on their age, texture, and workmanship, the beads are believed to date to the Qing Dynasty period (1644–1912). While the jade beads themselves are genuinely old, the necklace was restrung at a later date and fitted with a vintage 14K gold clasp for secure and comfortable wear. Delicate, solid 14K gold spacer beads between the jade add a refined touch of warmth and elegance, beautifully complementing the natural tones of the stone. Jade has long been treasured in Chinese culture as a symbol of purity, harmony, wisdom, and protection. Antique jade jewelry carries not only aesthetic beauty, but also a sense of history and timeless sophistication. Graceful and versatile, this necklace can be worn alone as a statement piece or layered with other fine jewelry. It is equally suited for everyday elegance or special occasions. Details: • Natural untreated jade beads...

Gold
Whether they’re chunky, statement-making accessories or a single strand of the understated sort, antique and vintage beaded necklaces are versatile pieces of jewelry. Indeed, the unique beaded necklaces in your jewelry box likely go with everything, from casual summer tops and shorts to dazzling evening gowns.
From the fish-bone and seashell jewelry of the prehistoric era to the breathtaking amulets and pendants of ancient Egypt to modern sapphire beads, people have been accessorizing with beaded necklaces for eternity.
Beaded necklaces — as well as other kinds of necklaces — were common in prehistoric times. Personal adornment was important, and jewelry was made for every part of the body. Beadwork is among the best known art forms attributed to Native Americans, and just as they had for saddlery and clothing, early populations would fashion beads for necklaces with stone tools or instruments made of wood. The making of colorful glass beads for beaded necklaces likely originated in Venice, Italy, during the 14th century, particularly given the growth of the decorative glass industry on the series of Venetian islands called Murano. During the Neolithic period, humans were buried with coral beaded necklaces from the Mediterranean, even as far north as the Alps.
Whether you’re seeking the pop of color you’ll get in a double-row jade beaded necklace from the Art Deco era — which encompasses the 1920s and ’30s and ushered in a very distinct look in jewelry design — or perhaps a simple strand of pearls for a blouse that leaves your neck bare, remember that different necklines call for different pieces of jewelry.
When accessorizing with a beaded necklace, a long piece with a pendant will likely pair best with your favorite vintage V-neck dress or V-neck tee, while beaded chokers and collar necklaces are a stylish fit for strapless tops. Bigger beads will hit your neckline in a different way than a more minimalist necklace might, so you’ll want to keep that in mind. Choose colors you like and pick items that will go with what is in your closet. When the occasion calls for it, don’t be afraid to stack. “More is more” for some, so pairing a delicate strand with a bolder piece might be the move for you.
On 1stDibs, find a collection of pearl beaded necklaces, antique emerald beaded necklaces, diamond beaded necklaces and more.
