Vintage Malachite and 14K Gold Bead Necklace, Graduated Plaque Design, 50cm, 585 Clasp

A striking vintage malachite necklace featuring a beautifully balanced arrangement of polished malachite beads and graduated rectangular malachite plaques, richly patterned with natural banding in vivid green tones.

The stones are complemented by 14K gold spacer beads and finished with a 14K gold clasp stamped 585, adding warmth and refinement to the bold organic character of the malachite. The variation in bead size and the sculptural plaque elements create strong visual rhythm and presence while remaining elegant and highly wearable.

This is a substantial and well-made example, professionally restrung and presented in excellent condition, making it immediately ready to wear or gift. Malachite’s distinctive banding ensures every element is unique, and the overall composition reflects classic late-20th-century gemstone design with enduring decorative appeal.
