The Roaring 20's pearl necklace is a costume pearl necklace with three large pearls of decreasing size arranged vertically, finished with a copper-coloured bead and a tassel of fine chains. Wear it at a 1920s party, or pair it just as easily with an outfit for a 1950s party. The necklace is designed for women.
What is the costume pearl necklace made of?
- The necklace is made of 80% acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and 20% iron.
- Three white pearls hang vertically, arranged from largest to smallest.
- Below the smallest pearl is a copper-coloured faceted bead.
- The necklace is finished with a tassel of fine silver-coloured chains.
- The pendant hangs from a link chain and falls straight down over your chest.
- Unlike a long strand of pearls, the focus is entirely on a single vertical pendant, so it looks best against a plain, dark top.
Pearls in the 1920s and 1950s
In the 1920s, pearls were a staple of the flapper style: women wore them long and loose over low-waisted dresses, often paired with fringes that moved as they danced. The tassel at the bottom of this necklace creates a similar sense of movement. In the 1950s, pearls returned as a symbol of polished elegance, worn with a tailored dress or strapless top. This makes the same necklace suitable for two different decades.
Creating a distinctive flapper or 1950s look around the pearl necklace
For a 1920s party, create a distinctive flapper look with a black bob hairstyle, a headband with a feather and a long cigarette holder, so that the white pearls stand out against a dark dress. If you are going to a 1950s party, wear your hair up and choose a black strapless top, along with pearl earrings. Red or pink lipstick completes both looks. These accessories are sold separately, as you will only receive the necklace.
