Antique French Jet Mourning Necklace 53″ Hand-Faceted Glass Beads Barrel Clasp

This antique necklace features hand-faceted French jet beads, a form of high-quality black glass used extensively in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The beads are individually knotted and cut by hand, giving each one slight variations in size and angle. They catch the light beautifully, with a deep, glossy shine that evokes traditional mourning jewelry. The strand measures approximately 53″ and fastens with a gold-tone barrel screw clasp. A classic piece of historical costume jewelry, ideal for collectors or vintage fashion enthusiasts.
