Onyx & Rock Crystal Necklace | Long Rose Gold Deco Design | English, c.1930s

A striking yet understated necklace, made in England in the 1930s -  all clean lines, soft contrast, and quiet glamour.

It’s composed of alternating onyx beads and smooth rock crystal discs, strung along a 94cm line of warm 9ct rose gold.

The effect is rhythmic and sculptural,  a balance of light and dark, weight and air.

There’s no pendant to interrupt the flow; just a long, elegant line of repeating forms that catches the light as it moves.

The black-and-clear palette is pure Deco, but the use of rose gold softens the mood, giving the piece a subtle warmth and wearability.

It’s bold, but never loud,  the kind of necklace that makes a statement simply by being beautifully made.

Long enough to wear doubled or draped, it’s a piece that feels just as relevant now as it would have with a silk gown in the 1930s.

Effortless, graphic, and quietly refined.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
