This estate 1980s bead necklace features one hundred sixteen (116) round black onyx beads each measuring 6.4mm, interspersed with six (6) 14K yellow gold oval beads throughout the strand. The necklace measures 32 inches in length, is secured with a spring ring clasp, and weighs 23.3 grams. Stamped 14K for metal purity assurance. The deep, lustrous black of the onyx beads is punctuated by the warm gleam of the yellow gold oval beads, creating a bold two-tone rhythm of color and texture that is quintessentially expressive of 1980s fine jewelry design sensibility.
Black onyx and gold bead necklaces enjoyed their greatest fashion moment during the 1980s, when bold, graphic jewelry statements — rich in contrast and confident in scale — defined the era's approach to fine jewelry. At 32 inches, this necklace falls at a dramatic opera length, equally striking worn as a single long strand or doubled for a layered, high-impact look. The 14K gold oval bead accents elevate the piece beyond a simple bead strand, adding genuine fine jewelry value and a refined decorative punctuation to the onyx's deep, commanding presence.
Elevate your jewelry collection with this estate 14K yellow gold 1980s black onyx bead necklace — a bold and era-defining treasure for collectors of vintage fine jewelry and admirers of high-contrast, statement-making bead necklace design.
