Vintage Gold Serpentine Necklace, Double Beaded Chain, 18 In / 60 Cm

From 1970s dead-stock costume jewellery, the vintage gold serpentine necklace keeps its warm gold-plated finish and low-profile drape intact. Its double beaded serpentine chain sits neatly at the collarbone for most wearers, while the 18-inch / 60-cm length works well for layering. Made as genuine old shop stock, it remains unused, unpolished, and lightweight enough for comfortable daily styling with knitwear or a pendant. Supplied from a private acquisition linked to high-end London department stores, each piece is carefully inspected by Loved & Loved Again before packaging and shipping, preserving its original silhouette and subtle shine without extra weight overall charm.

Original 1970s silhouette

The smooth serpentine drape and fine beaded links preserve the look of the era. The low-profile shape keeps the necklace refined, while the textured surface catches light with subtle movement. Because the piece has remained unused since manufacture, the original finish and fall are retained.

Fit and styling

At 18 inches / 60 cm, the chain typically sits near the collarbone and suits everyday wear, simple knitwear, or layering with a choker or pendant. Its lightweight construction makes it comfortable for long wear and easy to pair with other vintage gold jewellery.

Condition and provenance

Each necklace is sold as true old shop stock: pristine, unused, and unpolished. These dead-stock pieces came from inventory originally distributed to high-end London department stores. Loved & Loved Again documents the condition with photography and inspects every necklace before shipping.

Care note

To help preserve the vintage plated metal, avoid moisture, perfume, and abrasive cleaners. A soft, dry cloth is the safest option for light surface cleaning. Do not polish or replate if you want to keep the original dead-stock character.
