L R Creations Rhinestone Buckle Brooch Pin Earrings Set

Buckle up. It's going to be a bumpy ride. Help allay your anxieties by buckling up with some brilliance. The set presented, circa 1960s features a large buckle style brooch framed in sparkling clear emerald cut rhinestones with two arched hasps channeled in clear chaton rhinestones. The matching clip earrings follow the theme with single arched hasps. Pieces are plated in lustrous rhodium.

The maker of this set is quite obscure. Most see the mark as "L R CREATIONS". Because the marks before "CREATIONS" are a creatively positioned we're not sure it's "LR". We have scoured sources but have not been able to find reliable data. The company appears to have been in business around the 1950s-1960s. Production must have been limited since few pieces are seen. The set presented is excellent quality. Stones and metal finishes are top notch.

The brooch measures approximately 2 1/4 inches x 1 7/8 inches with a maximum 3/8 inch profile (hasp dome). Clip earrings are about 1 inch x 1 1/16 inches. Emerald cut rhinestones are 8 millimeters x 6 millimeters; small chaton rhinestones, 1, 2 and 3 millimeters. Weight of the brooch and earrings set is 33.8 grams.

Condition is excellent vintage. The stones are amazing. They present as created -- sparkling brilliantly as new. No cloudy or dead stones. No dents or improper bends to metal components. Lustrous rhodium plate intact, fronts and backs. Pin mechanism and earrings clips strong and secure. Extremely clean. No damage / no repairs. Near pristine vintage.

Reverse of the brooch is signed (we think) "LR CREATIONS". The earrings are not signed but a definite part of the set. Circa 1960s.

Buckle up and enjoy the ride. All roads lead to vintage. At Cody's.
