1960s Cognac Austrian Crystal Choker with Drops , Matching Ear clips and Brooch -Demi Parure
This is a truly lovely beaded set of matching jewellery comprising an adjustable choker to collar necklace, a domed cluster bead brooch and matching clip-on earrings . It consists golden metal chain and wire work holding facet cut Austrian crystal beads. These beads have a predominantly pale brown background that I would describe as a pale cognac brown or light amber brown. The cut Austrian crystals have a metallic coating and have the rainbow effect that you get with oil on water. They twinkle with all the colours of that rainbow and really reflect the light so there are shades of pink and purple bursting through making this a true colour-changing necklace in various lights. This super vintage necklace measures a total of 17.5 inches in length and can easily fastens with a hook-type clasp at a variety of lengths from choker to collar. The domed brooch measures 1.5 inches in diameter and fastens with a guarded roll over type closure to the pin. This brooch is constructed from the beads in a circular 3-D effect. The neat ear-clips are oval in shape and a great match to the rest. In great condition this vintage necklace suite would suit a bride, bridesmaid or anyone who likes to dress wearing pretty jewellery from the past. The set is shown on my life-size model and with a £1 coin to help you further gauge the size and scale.
