Vintage Agate Bead Necklace – Hand Knotted Natural Stone, 52" Long Boho Layering

This long vintage necklace is a true bohemian treasure, discovered at an old estate sale. Hand-knotted with natural twine wrapped in golden thread, it showcases an array of polished agate and chalcedony beads in earthy shades of amber, cream, mossy green, and smoky gray. Each stone is unique, with natural banding, inclusions, and soft translucence that make the piece feel alive with history.

The continuous strand measures approximately 52 inches, allowing it to be worn doubled, layered, or left long as a dramatic opera-length statement. Its construction — hand-knotted bead by bead — is typical of artisan jewelry imported in the mid-20th century (1950s–1970s), when natural stone jewelry became a boho and hippie style staple. The rustic knots not only protect the stones but add to the necklace's earthy, organic charm.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light wear to the cord consistent with age. Stones are smooth, polished, and well-preserved, with natural color variations.
