Vintage 1970s Blue Seed Bead Bib Collar Necklace Geometric Chevron Fringe Boho

Seed bead bib necklaces in this geometric chevron style are harder to find in complete condition than the solid-colour versions.

A 1970s–80s handcrafted bib necklace worked entirely in seed beads — cobalt navy, turquoise, and clear glass — in a bold geometric chevron pattern. The collar band sits flat against the chest; a cascade of beaded fringe drops below in the same three-colour pattern. The closure is a beaded toggle, all in keeping with the handmade construction.

The neck strap measures 28 cm — owner notes this may fit a child's neck more comfortably than an adult's. It may also work as a statement choker on a slender adult neck, or displayed rather than worn. Confirm sizing before purchase if fit is important.

The fringe drop adds visual length and movement; the piece reads well against a plain neckline or an open collar. The three-colour blue palette is versatile — pairs naturally with white, denim, or navy.
