Beautiful bracelet and clip on earring set with enameled Egyptian motif panels. The pieces are set in ornate antiqued gold plating that is silvery on the high points giving it an aged appearance. The panels of the pieces seem to be porcelain or some other smooth, hard material, enameled a lovely mossy green color. Each panel has been antiqued slightly differently, some are lighter, some darker, again giving the pieces an aged appearance. Circa 1960's. The backs of the pieces are open, showing the smooth backs of the enameled panels.

The bracelet is shown in Cherri Simonds book, "Collectable Costume Jewelry- Identification and Values", page 72. Neither piece is signed, but they are of a very good quality.

Due to the materials used, both pieces are fairly heavy. The bracelet has a non-opening safety chain, which is helpful with heavier pieces.

Both pieces are in very good vintage condition. There are no breaks, chips or cracks in any of the panels. There are a few minor scratches in the enamel on some of the edges of the panels, mostly noticeable under magnification. The clips of the earrings and the box clasp of the bracelet are secure. The plating appears intact, although with the nature of the design, it is hard to tell.

A really unique and pretty cool set!
