Double-Strand Black Onyx Beaded Necklace With 18ct Gold Clasp

About the Item

Let the seemingly endless strands of onyx pearls in this beaded necklace add a little spice to your neckline! Attention-grabbing and fabulous, this Italian statement piece is composed of a striking 197 freeform black onyx beads in two cascading strands of graduating length. A fancy box-tab-insert clasp in 18ct gold seals the deal, further accented with a little under half a carat of 15 round brilliant-cut diamonds for a touch of sparkle. This vintage show-stopper dates from the 1980s-1990s, a time when jewellery started breaking away from traditional boundaries, with large and eye-catching designs being an absolute must. Necklace styles from this era include beads of different sizes commonly worn in multiple strands of varying lengths, a trend highly popularised by Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. A true testament to the period’s bold and loud fashion, this onyx beaded necklace is a high-quality, timeless piece and comes with an IGI jewellery report. Wear it long against a bright-coloured top or short by wrapping the strands around the neck for a unique layered look.
