Vintage Astra Faux Opal and Amethyst Necklace – Signed, 1950s, 15 1/2", Snap Lock Clasp

This vintage necklace from the 1950s features a luminous pairing of faux opal cabochons and deep amethyst rhinestones, arranged in a symmetrical double‑row design that evokes mid‑century elegance.
The inner row showcases oval and teardrop faux opals with a soft iridescent glow, while the outer row sparkles with square‑cut amethyst stones. The setting appears to be silver tone, though there may have been a thin gold wash originally — now gracefully faded, adding to its vintage charm.
Signed Astra on the back of the snap lock clasp, this piece is linked to the Joseph Wiesner company, active in New York and Los Angeles until the mid‑1950s.
Condition is very good vintage: all stones are intact and luminous, with only gentle wear consistent with age.
