Product Description
Vintage 3 Graduated Strands Pearly Plastic Beads Necklace Earrings Set. Fabulous Colors!
Japan
Shimmering pearl satin beads are so festive with the shades of red used here! But shades of soft golds and pinks are added as well along with tiny, purple glass, seed beads. Great for Holiday Christmas fun but not just Xmas jewelry, looks amazing anytime! Deep purple blue accent colors on the slightly crinkly beads add a stunning contrast to the red shade which is actually a cool (blue) red making this awesome unique color. Who knew 1950's 60's multi strand necklaces could pop like this? Even better, it has matching clip earrings, still on the original card. So this was most like never worn!
It is in excellent vintage condition with a faint scratch on one of the aurora borealis stones in the earrings. (close up photo) But the pic is greatly enlarged and you don't see this when wearing it. This is likely from laying around in a drawer somewhere after all these years. Please note that there are lightly applied, painted, gold brush marks on some of the red beads. This is intentional, another design application and not a flaw of any kind. Super light gold, almost silvery, filigree beads caps are added onto the larger beads. Typical patina is seen on the clip back mechanisms.
I love this set, had it for over 15 years, just loved looking at it. But I'm downsizing now, would love to have someone enjoy it, especially wear it!
