Brushed and shiny gold beaded Napier 30 inch costume necklace

This 1950s Napier necklace features alternating brushed and polished gold beads—9.4mm rounds punctuated by delicate 3mm spacers—strung across a substantial 30-inch length. Crafted by the storied American costume jewelry maker (est. 1922), it's substantial enough to wear as a single strand or doubled depending on your frame, with a signed clasp and satisfying weight befitting its vintage era. The piece shows minor surface wear consistent with age, lending it authentic patina.
