Designers moved away from rigid mid-century styles. They embraced artisan craftsmanship and organic textures. Natural materials like howlite gained popularity during this era. Jewelry makers valued howlite for its unique marble-like veining. They often dyed the stone in rich blue hues to mimic rare turquoise. This made bold statement jewelry accessible to a wider audience. Pieces like this showcase the free-spirited aesthetic of late-century studio artists who favored tactile textures and expressive colors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42824018198717,"sku":"JN000010","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/JN000010_a.jpg?v=1792003940","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/1970s-vintage-carved-blue-howlite-beaded-necklace","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
