Vintage Bijoux Terner Cast Silver Metal Kidney Bean Necklace 16″-18″ Adjustable

This is a vintage, probably pre-owned, necklace made by the Bijoux Terner company. It’s most likely from the 1980’s. I’ve located several of this company’s kidney bean necklaces in the past and offered them on my website or Facebook business page. They sell quickly because they are so shiny and really help to tell a  transplant story.. They are very popular because the beans are so organic and beautifully shaped. Neckpieces are made of cast, plated metal. I’ve had them in all gold beans, all silver beans or mixed gold and silver together. This one is all silver metal, very reflective, no gold or other color and no dark spots in the actual necklace. It was photographed in natural light but reflects what is nearby. 

This necklace is exceptional, pristine and has been sanitized with alcohol. It shows little if any wear.  Since these are made of cast metal, the necklace is heavier than many, but the weight is not as noticeable as it would be in a longer piece. This one is adjustable from 16″ to 18,” so well distributed.  The photos show it in both the 16″ and 18″ length. There is only one of these available. They are such pretty kidneys, still my favorite vintage kidney beads of the many I’ve located over the years. I’ve been fortunate to find several of them over the years while on vintage bead/estate jewelry expeditions. Ask if you’re interested in a mixed silver/gold necklace. I’ll keep an eye out for it and let you  know when I locate one. I rarely see the all gold ones however.
