{"product_id":"base-109115725","title":"Vintage Pearl and Bead Necklace","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eVintage Pearl and Bead Necklace\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA vintage necklace strung with alternating freshwater pearls and clear lucite beads, moving in light, even rhythm. The soft, translucent glow of the pearls and the crisp clarity of the clear beads sit in beautiful contrast at the neck — stillness and movement held side by side along a single strand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat makes this necklace particular is the play of light and motion between two different materials. The freshwater pearls are naturally grown, each pearl slightly different in size and shape from the next. The soft lustre that rises across their surface is not the hard brilliance of a precious stone, but a warmth closer to the temperature of skin. The lucite beads, by contrast, are clear and translucent — when the light catches them, small bright points flicker from within, marking a different rhythm from the pearls' steadier glow. Warm pearl met with bright clear bead — like ocean spray suspended in motion, it carries the kind of layered sensibility that signals true vintage design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNecklaces combining pearls with semi-precious or glass beads were particularly favoured through the 1960s to 1980s — a moment when designers moved away from traditional, formal single-strand pearls and began exploring more free, individual, modular styles. The air of that era is held clearly in this piece. Not formal, but unmistakably refined — a pearl necklace open to everyday life. The freedom of its composition is what brings the piece into its own when worn in modern dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 57–62cm, the length is generously versatile: worn long, the strand falls from neck to chest; doubled, it sits closer along the collarbone; wrapped, it becomes a bracelet at the wrist. One necklace, several expressions. It pairs beautifully with the lighter materials of the warmer months — a T-shirt, a sheer blouse, a linen dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLength: 57–62cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMaterial: Freshwater pearl, lucite, brass, silver metal plating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePeriod: 1960s–80s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCondition: In very good vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSourced\/Made in: Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eInternational Shipping: All orders are shipped from Japan with tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAsia: Shipping ¥3,800 \/ approx. 7–10 business days Australia: Shipping AUD 30 \/ approx. 7–10 business days Europe: Shipping €29 \/ approx. 7–15 business days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003eDelivery times exclude weekends and Japanese public holidays.
