Materials and Features:

• A quintessential flapper-era Lariat Sautoir meticulously hand-woven using thousands of tiny iridescent glass seed beads.

• The construction features a sophisticated tubular bead-woven rope design that is both flexible and durable.

• The versatility of the necklace includes a matching beaded slider that allows the piece to be worn as a choker, a classic long lariat, or even a wrap bracelet. The tassel features multiple beaded fringe drops for elegant movement.

• The bead luster possess a beautiful nacreous iridescence, mimicking the soft glow of moonlight pearls.

• The hand-woven tubular beadwork (likely beaded crochet) is a labor-intensive technique hallmarks of the 1920s. While it was revived later, the complexity of this rope, combined with the aging thread, strongly supports the earlier era.

Condition: Great overall condition, all beads in tact, the darkened patina is a sign of authenticity, the internal silk or cotton thread oxidizes and darkens over 100 years, making the beads appear "stained" from the inside out. This is a very common marker for original 1920s stringing. proving the piece has its original 1920s stringing rather than being a modern reproduction.
