SOLD - Antique Art Deco Graduated Opal Bead & Gold Bike Chain Necklace

A luminous example of Early Art Deco elegance, this enchanting necklace features a graceful graduation of glowing opal beads, each one carefully hand strung to create a soft, fluid drape along the neckline.

The opals display a captivating play of colour, subtle flashes of green, blue, and warm fire that shift beautifully with every movement, giving the piece an almost ethereal quality.

At its centre sits a striking opal bead measuring approximately 11.5mm, gently graduating down to 5.5mm beads, creating a harmonious and elegant silhouette. The natural character of the stones enhances their charm, with each bead uniquely alive with colour and depth.

A short section of antique 9k gold bike link chain introduces a distinctive period detail, offering a delicate contrast to the softness of the opals. The necklace is finished with a traditional bolt ring clasp.
