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 bracelet 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 facet cut crystals in four claw
settings in a festoon or draping style with a long centrepiece featuring a
large accent stone. Further crystals extend part way along the sturdy rope
chain necklace finishing with a bolt/spring clasp. Please view the pictures for
the best description of the design and styling but they do not do it justice
whatsoever.
The bracelet
is a perfect match with a bow-tie feature to tie in with the necklace’s central
drop; so very pretty.
