Certified Necklace Long 78cm Opera Length, Provenance Shirley Conran DBE

From the personal collection of Shirley Conran DBE (1932–2024), this striking long green bead necklace is composed of polished dyed quartz beads of impressive scale and strong sculptural presence.

The necklace is formed as a continuous opera-length strand measuring approximately 78 cm in length, composed of uniform polished beads measuring approximately 12.3 mm in diameter. The vivid mid- to dark-green tones display subtle natural variation beneath a high polish, creating an elegant and visually impactful composition with a refined modernist feel.

The substantial scale and rhythmic uniformity of the beads give the necklace exceptional visual presence when worn, while the rich green palette lends versatility across both contemporary and classic wardrobes.
