AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage milky-agate necklace with 14 kt gold integrated clasp – ca. 1970 – 75.5 grams
Characterful retro chain featuring faceted milky agate beads in soft cream and honey hues. The necklace dates from the 1960s/70s and reflects the typical elegant simplicity of the retro period, where natural materials and warm tones were central.
The agate beads show subtle color variations ranging from milky white to light peach and soft yellow, with a light translucence that provides a warm, diffuse glow. The faceting gives the piece lively light reflection without losing its soft appearance.
Clasp
The necklace features a 14k gold integrated box clasp, beautifully set with an oval faceted milky agate that harmoniously matches the beads. The clasp is hallmarked and equipped with a gold safety chain, offering comfort and security while wearing.
The integrated design makes the clasp an aesthetic part of the overall design rather than just a functional element — a hallmark of high-quality retro jewelry.
