Multi-Colored Glass Bead Continuous Strand Necklace

This item is a long, continuous loop necklace consisting of approximately 70–80 spherical beads. The beads appear to be composed of poured glass or polished resin, each measuring roughly 8mm to 10mm in diameter. The color palette is vibrant and eclectic, featuring shades of turquoise blue, sunny yellow, opaque orange, mottled pink, sage green, and reddish-brown. A notable feature of the construction is the inclusion of small, translucent gold-tone spacer beads positioned between each primary bead, which adds flexibility and a rhythmic visual element to the strand. Several of the pink and blue beads exhibit a 'mottled' or marbleized surface texture, suggesting an intentional decorative effect rather than solid coloration. The necklace is strung on a white fibrous cord, potentially nylon or cotton, which is visible at a point where the strand has become frayed and loose. This indicates a condition issue where the structural integrity of the string is compromised and requires restringing. There is no visible clasp, identifying it as an 'opera' or 'rope' length flapper-style necklace designed to be looped or worn long. The style is characteristic of mid-20th-century costume jewelry, likely dating from the 1960s or 1970s. While no maker’s marks are visible on the continuous string, the uniform shape and repeated pattern suggest a mass-produced but cheerful vintage accessory.
