Vintage Genuine Malachite Graduated Bead Necklace | 1960s–70s Boho Statement

A striking vintage statement necklace crafted from genuine malachite, featuring beautifully graduated beads with rich natural green banding.
This piece dates to the 1960s–1970s, a classic era for bold, earthy jewellery inspired by nature and global bohemian style. The graduated malachite beads create a soft yet powerful presence, perfect worn alone or layered with other treasures.
The stone has been tested with a Presidium gemstone tester, confirming it as genuine malachite. As with many vintage malachite beads, the stone may be lightly stabilised to enhance durability — a common and accepted practice.
A timeless piece for collectors, free spirits, and lovers of vintage boho jewellery.
