Colco Oriental Figures Faux Ivory Bracelet, Earrings

Jewelry : Vintage : Figural

 

This is an extremely interesting Oriental set, most probably from the 60’s rather than the 50’s, which is in excellent condition and is signed ‘Colco’. It features faux ivory Chinese figures made from some type of heavy plastic; on the bracelet we have, going from left to right, an old man (I think!), a scribe seated with a scroll, a lady with a fan, the face of a bearded man, and a robed and bearded man with a comfortably rounded stomach. This gentleman is also featured on the matching clip earrings. The setting is shiny gold-tone. The bracelet measures 7 ½ inches long by 1 ¼ inches wide and the earrings are 1 ¼ inches high. The bracelet and one of the earrings are signed ‘Colco’ on the reverse. I have seen various components from this parure being sold as Selro, but the signature ‘Colco’ here is perfectly clear, as these pieces are in such good condition. There is a small area of wear to the detailing on the head and arm of the old man to the left of the bracelet; other than this, these pieces are in excellent condition with no wear to the gold tone finish.
