Vintage 1950s expansion bracelet marked Made in Japan, featuring rows of white faux pearls set in silver-tone prongs over a flexible stretch band. The layered design creates a soft, dimensional look with a subtle contrast between bright beads and aged patina.

A classic mid-century piece from the post-war Japanese export era, with easy slip-on wear and timeless retro styling. Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age.

Description: A long, continuous strand of jet-black faceted glass beads — each one cut to catch and absorb light in equal measure, creating a strand that reads as both graphic and quietly luxurious. The graduated sizing moves smoothly from smaller beads at the nape to larger at the center, a construction with roots in Victorian mourning jewelry that has since transcended its origins entirely. At 37 inches, it wears as a single opera-length strand, doubles into a layered choker, or wraps for a completely different silhouette. Deeply versatile.

Materials: Black faceted glass beads; metal clasp

Details:

• Era: c. 1940s–1960s, Mid-Century
  
• Style / design notes: Graduated faceted black glass beads; uniform strand with no spacers; barrel or box clasp

• Function: Necklace; wearable as single opera strand, doubled, or wrapped
• Color: Jet black
• Condition: Great vintage condition
