Acrylic lucite beading

Acrylic has been used to create beads in jewellery since around the late 1940s when it was predominantly known as lucite. The lucite beads have a sheen to them and are not quite cool, but not quite warm to the touch. Lucite beads are more expensive and are more often used for fine jewellery than other types of plastic.

Condition

This necklace hails from the 1950s, which means it is over 60 years old, yet looks brand new and this is due to the care that the jewellery artisans had early to mid last century, when making even mass produced jewellery. This necklace will last you for a very long time. Enjoy a pre-loved item that no-one else will own and bring less waste to the planet.
