Star Faux Topaz & Aurora Borealis Butterfly Necklace & Earrings Set

NWS 15-1125

~ Like a Rorschach inkblot test, what I see in this gorgeous set is butterflies, and you may see something different, but one thing's for certain: we both see beautiful jewelry!

~ This is an exquisite set from the 1950's, made and signed by "STAR"; Star made jewelry from 1950 to 1969, so their jewelry is not plentiful today, and because of its scarcity and high quality, it's very collectible

~ For one thing, their plating is exquisitely done; this set is heavily gilt  in a lovely, soft gold color - not that awful, brassy, yellow color that we so often see in today's costume jewelry

~ The crystals are also of top quality - Swarovski's finest. This set has dozens upon dozens of faux, faceted topaz crystals that have been cut in a marquis shape

~ And surrounding those faux topaz crystals are scores of aurora borealis (iridescent), faceted rhinestones; they're small chatons, and they make the set dazzling, without being overwhelming; as a result, you can wear this set during the day, for just a touch of sparkle, without being too dressy

~ Necklace measures 14" long with an extension chain and hook clasp that allows you to lengthen it to 17.5" long

~ Earrings are clips and measure 1" across

c. 1950's, in near mint condition!
