Description

The listing, VINTAGE RHINESTONE NECKLACE & EARRING SET has ended.

Beautiful 8” long necklace with hook clasp. This has 136 individual total stones.
It has 68 round ones in the chain part of necklace. Then there are 3 loop parts
tapering down to main focal point that has 66 stones in the loops. The focal point
has 2 large square stones that are displayed inside the front center loops.
All are individually set in silver colored settings with 4 jewel prongs on each.
The post earrings each have a total of 4 stones in an “L” shape, with a small round,
large round & an x-large round (in long part of L) & then a large square (on short part)

The original owner of this piece is 93 yr's old & has not been extremely helpful on it's
origin & content (she just doesn't remember the specific's) But as close as I can gather,
She bought these in the late 1950's in CA. & although an expensive set for the time
(hence the individual set stones) It was still considered “costume jewelry” since the
stones were rhinestone & not considered “precious gems” The beautiful silver
settings look as though it's real silver, but I can't verify that, so it could be any combination.
But to look this perfect after such a long time it has to be a good quality silver. It still has the
“new silver shine” Plus each stone is still beautiful,brilliant & clear, this set definitely shows
expert craftsmanship.

Are you sure it is 8"? It seems not big enough to be a necklace. My bracelets are 7".

lltrain, you a right, just measured & postted new pic, it is 15" long. I guess it's what they call a "choker" because the necklace strand goes right around your neck & the long part hangs down from there. Will be more careful when I list things, sorry.

Good! I really like it. I am glad you measured. You probably measured it the first time with the necklace hooked together and just wasn't thinking. I feel much better knowing it is 15".
