Vintage Sterling Silver Beaded Necklace Malachite Glass Green Beads Mid Century Modernist Choker Sculptural Hollow Leaf Links Adjustable Vintage Jewelry

This striking vintage sterling silver beaded necklace combines vivid green malachite-effect glass beads with dimensional sculptural sterling silver links. Each unusual silver element is constructed from two matching formed pieces, creating a hollow open-centered design with a stylized leaf or fan motif. The rich green and dark banded glass provides the dramatic appearance of malachite while contrasting beautifully with the aged silver, giving the necklace strong Mid Century Modernist character.

The necklace measures approximately 14.5 inches long before the extender is used, creating a classic choker-length fit that also works beautifully as a short layering necklace in a necklace stack. An attached extender allows additional wearable length. The clasp is marked STERLING; no maker's mark or other identifying marks were found. The green beads are glass made to resemble the distinctive banding of malachite and are not being represented as natural malachite.

A distinctive choice for collectors of vintage sterling silver jewelry, malachite glass jewelry and Mid Century Modernist design, while its short adjustable length also gives it contemporary appeal for layered necklace styling. The sculptural silver forms, botanical-inspired design and bold green glass make it equally appealing as vintage statement jewelry. Vintage condition with age-related patina and wear; please review photographs as part of the description.
