Vintage Richelieu Graduated Pearl Necklace

Vintage Richelieu graduated faux pearl necklace with its original mid-century hangtag and a sterling silver floral fishhook clasp. This classic 1940s–1950s strand features beautifully tapered pearls that graduate from delicate to bold, creating an elegant and timeless silhouette. The clasp is stamped STERLING on the back and retains its original vintage patina. I have not polished or cleaned the piece so it stays in its authentic aged condition. The pearls have the soft, luminous coating that Richelieu was known for in their higher-quality glass pearl lines. The original black-and-gold Richelieu tag is still attached, which is rare to find and makes this strand more collectible. Condition: Good vintage condition. The clasp shows natural patina and some visible verdigris from age. I have not cleaned or polished the necklace to preserve its original state. Fully wearable and structurally sound. A beautiful, classic mid-century piece perfect for bridal wear, gifting, or any vintage jewelry collection. ✨ Details Brand: Richelieu (original tag attached) Era: 1940s–1950s Clasp: Sterling silver floral fishhook clasp, stamped STERLING Pearls: Graduated faux glass pearls, approx. 3.1mm to 8.5mm Length: 16 inches Finish: Left unpolished to preserve original patina Condition: Good vintage condition with natural patina and visible verdigris on clasp 💎 Why you’ll love it Original Richelieu hangtag included Beautiful tapered pearl graduation Sterling silver clasp for higher quality
