What a
Fabulous Vintage Set just perfect for that special occasion, especially for a
Bride at her Wedding or Gift! It just oozes that Vintage Glamour and is without
doubt a necklace and earring set of the highest quality dating to between the 1910s
and 30s when delicate, lacy jewellery was so popular – its condition is
near new. Although it is unmarked I have no doubt these stones are Swarovski
crystals or similar due to their outstanding Quality, Sparkle and Clarity
which my pictures do no justice.
It is comprised of clear and sparkling genuine prong-set crystals in white
Gold Filled settings which is
probably finished with Rhodium for a glossy sheen. The design is so
simple yet so elegant - an array of round and tear drop facet cut crystals in
four claw settings in a festoon or draping style. Further crystals extend part
way along the rope chain necklace. Please view the pictures for the best
description of the design and styling but they do not do it justice whatsoever.
The balance
of the chain is a rope link finished with a bolt/spring clasp.
The screw-back
earrings are a perfect match with their round and tear drop crystals, and if
preferred, the screw-backs could be replaced with ear wires easily.
