Overview
This vibrant mid-century demi-parure features a multi-strand bracelet and matching clip-on earrings showcasing jewel-toned faux pearls in electric turquoise, magenta, and amethyst purple. The beads are contrasted with textured silver-tone multi-link chains, brushed end-caps, and box-clasp construction typical of 1960s statement cocktail jewelry.
Story
Post-war fashion erupted in bold color during the 1960s, moving away from demure white pearls toward saturated jewel tones. Multi-strand festoon sets like this let women bring high-impact cocktail glamour to the supper club.
Maker / Origin
While unsigned examples like this were produced by prolific American fashion houses such as Coro, Trifari, and Marvella—or imported from post-war Japanese beadmakers—they represented accessible luxury. These makers mastered dipping techniques to produce high-luster coated glass and acrylic pearls in fashion-forward palettes.
Condition & Value
Appears to be in very good vintage condition with intact bead coatings, bright silver-tone plating, and functional clasps. Condition is well-preserved with no major peeling visible on the faux pearls.
