The Newport Mosaic: Art Deco Double-Strand Jet Beaded Bib Necklace

Channel the dramatic sophisticated luxury of mid-century high-society style with this stunning geometric cabochon collar. Uncovered within pristine deadstock collections in Rhode Island—the historic, definitive heart of American heritage jewelry engineering—this beautiful piece has sat safely vaulted and completely unworn for decades. Its silhouette is an authentic homage to the majestic, heavy statement collars distributed through luxury department store jewelry counters in the late 20th century.

Constructed with a striking double-strand collar of glossy jet-black round spacer beads, the neckline cascades into a structured chevron bib panel. The central shield mosaic frames an array of hand-set, multi-faceted opaque jet-black gems nestled inside fine gold-tone milgrain bezels, beautifully contrasted by frosty moonstone-inspired white resin accents. Heavyweight, exquisitely balanced, and historically rich, this necklace brings bold architectural style to the contemporary closet.
