"Icy Waters" Swarovski Rhinestone Parure by Elizabeth Cooke

Jewelry : Artisan : Sets

 

5 or more years ago, I was fortunate enough to find these wonderful Vintage Carved Flower Octagons. Hopefully I did them justice. The focus of course are the 1960s Japanese Sapphire colored Carved Flower Glass Octagons with Gold Accents. To these, I added Aurora Borealis Rhinestones in the centers of each flower. Every other stone is Machine Cut Swarovski, including Tanzanite color, Heliotrope color, Sapphire color, Capri, Amethyst Aurora Borealis color & Cardinal.

The necklace measures 14 3/4" to 16 1/2" adjusted, the ladder style bracelet is 7 1/8" x 1 1/4" wide. The dangle pin is 3" x 2" and the clip-on earrings measure 2 1/4" x 1 1/2". The set is Gold Plated and is in unworn condition. Will arrive with a very nice Presentation/Gift Box.

For the last 10 years I have been setting up at shows and also selling online. Like most in the Vintage Jewelry business, I too am obsessed with the allure and Quality of these pieces! For quite some time I have been interested in the construction of Vintage Costume Jewelry and always knew I would like to design and make quality pieces, reminiscent of the 1950s.

I have been buying Vintage Swarovski stones for about 8 years and I wanted to use only the very best in my Jewelry. I also use unique and colorful Vintage Art Glass stones.

Unlike most of the Jewelry of today, each of my pieces have prong-set stones and settings that are soldered by hand. I strive to construct only high quality Jewelry AND at an affordable price. This process is very expensive and time consuming; sometimes 1 stone can cost $5+ each and a set can take 15 or more hours to complete!

With minimal care, each Work of Art is hand crafted to last many decades to come. Not only a piece of wearable Art, but an Investment for the future.
