The vintage gold plate centrepiece and matching 1/2" long teardrop pendants are prong-set with intensely coloured aqua West German hand-cut crystal rhinestones.
My dear friend the Beadfairy, who sold me the setting, says that it was made by Freirich, but it is unsigned.
It measures 3-1/8" from the top of the centrepiece to the bottom of the longest fringe element.
The strand is about 16-1/2" long, and closes with a fancy gold plate clasp.
The 8mm and 6mm aqua beads are vintage West German aqua firepolish crystals; the little 3mm aqua beads are contemporary Czech firepolish.
The matching earrings dangle not quite 1-1/4" from their 14kt gold fill ball post findings.
I imagine Cinderella wore something similar on her big evening, and she didn't do so badly.
What the hey, give it a whirl!
It's another fairy tale creation from SPARKLE PLENTY!
