Mid Century Aurora Borealis Crystal Necklace

This luminous mid-century aurora borealis crystal necklace features a single strand of faceted glass beads that shimmer with soft rainbow iridescence. Each bead catches the light beautifully, displaying shifting tones of rose, gold, violet, and blue. The silver-tone findings show gentle age-appropriate patina that enhances its vintage character — a warm, authentic finish that adds depth and charm rather than detracting from its beauty. A classic example of 1950s–1960s aurora borealis craftsmanship, this piece is perfect for collectors or anyone who appreciates refined sparkle with history and soul. Lovely worn alone or layered with other vintage chains and crystal strands for an elegant, heirloom look. Details: Era: Mid-century (1950s–1960s) Materials: Aurora borealis faceted glass beads, silver-tone metal Finish: Subtle patina and light surface wear consistent with age Closure: Hook clasp Length: 14” adjustable Condition: Very good vintage condition with light wear and minor patina that enhances vintage appeal Collector’s Note: The aurora borealis finish was first developed by Swarovski in the mid-1950s, and became an icon of postwar glamour. Pieces like this with softly aged silver-tone metal and true vintage glass crystals are now prized by collectors seeking authentic mid-century sparkle. I do not clean or polish vintage jewelry to maintain its authenticity and protect the original finish. Collectors often prefer items in untouched condition.
