Vendome 1948-55 Crystal Beaded Set Earrings & 3Strand Capped Faux Pearl Necklace

About the Item

Between 1948-1955 this early Vendome crystal set was made for a high-end line by Coro to include a three-strand tricolor beaded necklace with flower-decorated silver-metal J-hook closure and 2cm-diameter clip earrings, whose faceted clear crystals match the smallest ones on the choker. The necklace features irregular faux grey and beige pearls, whose pale colors are complimented by similarly sized pink and clear faceted crystals with an iridescent or mirror coating reflecting blue-tones and lots of light. A number of the grey pearls are bracketed with silver textured metal caps. Minute silvered spacers substitute for string knots between the smallest clear faceted crystals. Two rows of round and rectangular micro crystals adorn the silvered textured hardware on both ends of the strands, while a crystal-beaded extension chain with a dangling faux beige pearl is attached to one end. Without a copyright symbol with the Vendome signature, the set was produced before 1956, while J-hooks were not used in this line of Coro necklaces prior to 1948. As Vendome was produced from 1944-1970, this set is an early one. While the earrings are in excellent condition, the necklace has signs of wear consistent with very good condition. In addition to minute scratches, a few of the tiny silvered spacers close to each end of the necklace have a greenish cast like verdigris from a brass base--only visible in closeups. The scratches on the faux pearls are difficult to distinguish due to the non-spherical shapes and irregular lines that mimic natural baroque pearls with aberrations. The dimensions of the necklace are in the Measurement Units section of this listing. Given the extension chain, its 33cm-length can be increased to 40cm.

  • HaskellStyle PostWarII GlassLampworkPearlBeads GreenMetallic Filigree Necklace
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This is an excellent mid-century Japanese reproduction of a Miriam Haskell glass green-tone and metallic three-strand choker necklace. It features the American designer's characteristic use of colorful hand-crafted lampwork, seed and faux-pearl beads, along with Parisian-style silver-gilt metal filigree caps and findings. A supplier of Haskell's post-WWII Japanese-made beads and findings also made its own unbranded designs using the same materials. Whereby "Japan" is discreetly stamped on the hook that enables fastening along the extension chain. The faux-nacre coating of the pearls has partly disappeared on only the gold-accented smallest round beads. This does not detract from the necklace because similar irregular patterns with a mix of colors are among the multiple styles and sizes of beads (see closeups). The many colors include gold, ecru, brown, seafoam green, olive, mint, and vivid green. If you want the look of an authentic Haskell necklace for a fraction of the price, then you may want this piece. Otherwise, we pride ourselves on being able to identify unsigned Haskell...
