Purple Iridescent Textured Lucite Beaded Necklace

Lucite, recognized for its transparency, durability, and adaptability, found its way into jewelry design during the mid-20th century, gaining notable popularity in the 1940s and 1950s. In the midst of World War II, when conventional jewelry materials were scarce due to rationing and limited supply, the industry turned to alternative materials, with acrylic plastics like Lucite emerging as an appealing choice. This purple iridescent Lucite beaded necklace, that looks blue in certain lighting, most likely dates from the 1950s to 1960s.

Dimensions: length 20 1/2 inches
