Vintage Quartz Pendant Necklace 16" - Carved Cream Beads - Gold Tone Accents - 38.1g Collar

This vintage quartz necklace has an understated, sculptural feel that fits beautifully with minimalist and mid-century inspired wardrobes. Creamy carved quartz beads lead to a rectangular carved quartz pendant with soft striping, creating a subtle statement that still feels easy to wear. At 16 inches and about 38.1 grams, it sits as a collar at the base of the neck, with enough presence to stand alone or layer with your favorite silver and Taxco pieces.​

The strand is composed of carved and faceted quartz beads in soft off-white tones, spaced with small gold-tone beads that show visible finish wear from age. A simple shepherd’s hook clasp completes the design and keeps the focus on the texture and line of the beads; the overall construction and materials suggest a mid-20th-century to later vintage era, though the exact age is unknown. Quartz is often associated with clarity and energetic protection, making this a thoughtful piece for anyone who likes their jewelry to carry meaning as well as style.​

Condition is vintage and pre-owned with age-appropriate wear, including finish loss and patina to the gold-tone spacer beads and light surface wear to the quartz when viewed under close inspection. The necklace is securely strung and wearable as found, but as with all vintage strung jewelry, gentle handling and storage are recommended to prolong its life. The piece ships carefully packaged from Sanford, Maine, USA
