Vintage Multi-Strand Blue and Green Rice Bead Necklace

A vintage-style multi-strand long necklace featuring approximately five strands of 'rice-shaped' oval beads. The piece measures 50 inches in total length when laid flat, allowing it to be worn as a long single loop or doubled/tripled for a tiered effect. According to the user, the beads have a resinous feel, suggesting they are likely a lightweight molded acrylic, lucite, or resin common in mid-20th-century costume jewelry. The color palette is a vibrant mix of turquoise, teal green, and cobalt blue. The beads appear to have a semi-translucent quality with some internal swirling or marbling, particularly visible in the green and teal sections. The construction utilizes a brass 'antique-style' clasp, which suggests a possible manufacturing date between the 1960s and 1980s when boho and multi-strand styles were fashionable. Physically, the item appears to be in good vintage condition with no missing beads or visible fraying of the stringing material. The brass clasp may show minor signs of oxidation or patina consistent with age. This piece is a classic example of costume jewelry designed for visual impact and versatility, utilizing lightweight materials to ensure comfort despite its significant length and volume.
