VTG Malachite 10mm Bead Necklace 24" Strand Sterling Silver Clasp-Genuine

This is a stunning vintage necklace featuring genuine malachite beads with their signature rich green color and natural banding. The beads measure approximately 10 mm each and are hand-strung into a 24-inch matinee-length strand, making it a versatile piece that can be worn alone or layered. The clasp is a decorative box-style clasp stamped "SILVER," indicating sterling silver. This detail adds both collectible and intrinsic value, as many mid-century pieces from Japan and China used this mark rather than "925." ✨ Details: Gemstone: Genuine Malachite (banded, polished round beads) Bead Size: ~10 mm Length: ~24" strand Clasp: Sterling Silver, marked SILVER Era: Mid-20th Century (1950s–1970s) Condition: Very good vintage condition; minimal wear consistent with age, securely strung This necklace is a timeless statement piece, perfect for collectors of vintage gemstone jewelry or those who appreciate the bold elegance of malachite.
