Vintage Black Faux Pearl Necklace with Gold Seed Bead Spacers — Iridescent Oil Slick, 1970s–80s

Large round faux pearls with a deep iridescent finish — dark as a night sky with that characteristic oil-slick bloom of blue, green, and violet shifting across the surface. Each pearl is separated by a small gold seed bead spacer, giving the strand a rhythm that keeps it from reading as strictly formal. The vintage oval clasp finishes the back cleanly. This is the kind of black pearl necklace that holds its own without any apology.
