VTG PLASTIC BEADS NECKLACE SUITE~LOADS of DANGLING BEADS~BIG CLAMPER BRACELET
Fabulous necklace bracelet & earrings set parure from the 1950's era. If you collect Juliana, this set, though not Juliana as far as I know, has some very interesting construction and design very much like Juliana pieces. This is seen in the huge clamper bracelet and clip earrings which feature loads of dangling icy light blue & white beads, all hand wired and cascading down from them. The bracelet is just incredible! It has prong set plastic white stones set all around the whole piece, top and bottom, which culminate into the main cluster at the front. The earrings are just as incredible with a multitude of cascading beads, dropping down and bobbing gently. Even though it has no dangling beads at all, the necklace is still very striking. It features 3 rows of plastic beads in graduating lengths. The icy blue beads in the necklace are BIG measuring 17mm round. These are strung on silk accented with the same small football shaped beads seen dangling in the bracelet & earrings. Small gold beads are used as spacers. The strands are attached to gold plated connectors and the necklace is adjustable in length. The extender is wonderful as it has the white beads hand wired together ending with a big blue bead. This set is in excellent vintage condition. The gold plating on the bracelet and connectors shows no wear. The earring backs are brass and have the normal darkened patina seen on old brass. This is normal and desirable to the collector so I have chosen to not polish them. The small gold spacers have also darkened in some areas, again, this is normal in vintage pieces and does not detract from the beauty or value of the set. The plastic beads are truly beautiful with no fading, dulling, or flaws anywhere. The necklace measures 16~1~1/4" total adjustable length. The bracelet has an inside measurement of 2~1/4" x 7/8". It fits the small to medium sized wrist beautifully. The front design area measures approx. 3" across and with the dangles measures approx. 1~3/4" long. The earrings measure approx. 1~1/2" long x approx. 2" across. I say approx. due to the very thick clusters which make it a bit difficult to measure. This is a unique and beautiful suite which looks as if it should be signed, however, there is no makers mark as far as I can see. Nonetheless, it will still be a featured set in any vintage plastic, bakelite or possibly even Juliana jewelry collection.
