Hester Fleming Vintage
Vintage · 1950s · Powder Blue Glass Bead Necklace
This mid-century glass bead necklace captures the softer side of 1950s vintage — playful, feminine, and easy to wear. The powder blue and white milk-glass beads give gentle colour without overpowering an outfit, making it the kind of piece that slips naturally into everyday rotation.
Sitting comfortably at the collarbone, it works just as well with linen, denim, or a simple knit as it does layered over summer dresses. This isn’t a statement in the sculptural sense — it’s a mood piece, chosen for how it makes an outfit feel rather than how loudly it announces itself.
Unsigned glass bead necklaces from this era are increasingly hard to find in such clean condition, particularly with original fittings intact. It’s a charming example of mid-century costume jewellery designed for real life — worn often, kept close, and enjoyed.
