Vintage Aurora Borealis Lead Crystal Two Strand Bead Necklace Choker 1950s

This Vintage Aurora Borealis Crystal Bead Necklace is characterized by its dazzling, iridescent shimmer reminiscent of the Northern Lights. The name refers to a special metallic coating applied to the surface of glass or crystal beads, creating a brilliant, multicolored, rainbow-like effect when light reflects off them, mimicking the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis. This necklace is made with faceted crystal beads, with the famous Aurora Borealis coating developed by Swarovski in 1955. The coating can be applied to various types of beads, and the base color of the bead can influence the resulting rainbow hues. The necklace is a double-strand design with graduated crystal beads. Aurora Borealis jewelry, especially pieces from the late 1950s and early 1960s, is highly sought after by collectors for its distinctive sparkle and historical significance. In excellent vintage condition.
