Cobalt Blue and Black Lucite Beaded Necklace

Lucite is a type of acrylic resin known for its transparency, durability, and versatility. The use of Lucite in jewelry design emerged during the mid-20th century and became particularly popular in the 1940s and 1950s. During World War II, there was a shortage of traditional jewelry materials such as metal and gemstones due to rationing and limited availability. This led to the exploration of alternative materials in jewelry production, and acrylic plastics like Lucite became an attractive option. This cobalt blue lucite beaded necklace is from the 1960s to 1970s.
