Vintage Multi-Strand Teal Art Glass Bead Necklace

This is a vintage multi-strand necklace, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1960s), featuring three graduated strands of distinctively shaped art glass beads. The primary beads are elongated, twisted 'torpedo' or 'bicone' shapes in a deep teal or peacock blue color, featuring an internal swirling or 'end-of-day' marbled effect that suggests handmade glasswork. Between these larger focal beads are small gold-tone metal spacer beads and smaller round teal seed beads, providing flexibility and rhythmic contrast to the design. The strands are gathered by two ornate gold-tone decorative filigree end caps, often referred to as 'slides' or 'separators,' which have a crown-like scallop design. These hardware pieces are characteristic of mid-century costume jewelry craftsmanship. The overall condition appears good with no visible chips to the glass, though there is a natural aged patina and minor surface tarnish visible on the metal findings. The construction utilizes multi-strand stringing typical of fashion jewelry from the era designed to drape elegantly on the collarbone. While no maker's mark is immediately visible on the clasp assembly in this view, the style is consistent with high-quality costume jewelry manufacturers of that period.
